The evolution of high-z proto-star clusters into local globular clusters

A. Della Croce, E. Vesperini, R. Pascale +4

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected numerous massive and relatively compact stellar clumps around proto-galaxies at high redshift (z>0.5). Their properties suggest that…

Probing globular clusters parameters through gravitational wave lensing with stellar-mass black hole binaries

Sreekanth Harikumar, Abbas Askar, Michał Bejger +3

Globular clusters (GCs) can act as gravitational lenses for gravitational waves(GWs) in the wave-optics regime, imprinting frequency-dependent signatures on the observed signal. We…

Massive star clusters detected by JWST as natural birth places to form intermediate-mass black holes

Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Matías Liempi, Mirek Giersz +11

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected, through gravitational lensing, several young massive star clusters (YMCs), which are considered as relevant building blocks of h…

Multiband gravitational wave observations of eccentric escaping binary black holes from globular clusters

Yuetong Zhao, Abbas Askar, Youjun Lu +7

Stellar-mass binary black holes (sBBHs) formed in globular clusters (GCs) are promising sources for multiband gravitational wave (GW) observations, particularly with low- and middl…

Dynamical evolution of massless particles in star clusters with NBODY6++GPU-MASSLESS: II. The long-term evolution of free-floating comets

Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Kai Wu +5

Context. Comets, asteroids, planetesimals, free-floating planets and brown dwarfs, are continuously injected into the intra-cluster environment after expulsion from their host plan…

Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations

Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Arkadiusz Hypki +3

The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. O…
