Interactions between a massive planet and a disc

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Ignasi Ribas, Ulf Loeckmann +1

We analyse the potential migration of massive planets forming far away from an inner planetary system. For this, we follow the dynamical evolution of the orbital elements of a mass…

Constraining the initial mass function of stars in the Galactic Centre

Ulf Loeckmann, Holger Baumgardt, Pavel Kroupa

(abridged) Here we discuss the question whether the extreme circumstances in the centre of the Milky Way may be the reason for a significant variation of the IMF. By means of stell…

Stellar-mass black holes in star clusters: implications for gravitational wave radiation

Sambaran Banerjee, Holger Baumgardt, Pavel Kroupa

We study the dynamics of stellar-mass black holes (BH) in star clusters with particular attention to the formation of BH-BH binaries, which are interesting as sources of gravitatio…

Tidal Tails of Star Clusters

A. H. W. Kuepper, P. Kroupa, H. Baumgardt +1

Based on recent findings of a formation mechanism of substructure in tidal tails by Kuepper, Macleod & Heggie (2008) we investigate a more comprehensive set of N-body models of sta…

Evidence for two populations of Galactic globular clusters from the ratio of their half-mass to Jacobi radii

Holger Baumgardt, Genevieve Parmentier, Mark Gieles +1

We investigate the ratio between the half-mass radii r_h of Galactic globular clusters and their Jacobi radii r_J given by the potential of the Milky Way and show that clusters wit…

The photometric evolution of dissolving star clusters: II. Realistic models. Colours and M/L ratios

P. Anders, H. J. G. L. M Lamers, H. Baumgardt

Evolutionary synthesis models are the prime method to construct models of stellar populations, and to derive physical parameters from observations. One of the assumptions for such…
