MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Dissolution of tidally filling star clusters harboring black hole subsystem
Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Long Wang +3
We investigate the dissolution process of star clusters embedded in an external tidal field and harboring a subsystem of stellar-mass black hole. For this purpose we analyzed the M…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters: Dynamical Consequences and Observational Signatures
Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz, Manuel Arca Sedda +3
Sizeable number of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in globular clusters (GCs) can strongly influence the dynamical evolution and observational properties of their host cluster. Usin…
The Ecology of the Galactic Centre: Nuclear Stellar Clusters and Supermassive Black Holes
Melvyn B. Davies, Abbas Askar, Ross P. Church
Supermassive black holes are found in most galactic nuclei. A large fraction of these nuclei also contain a nuclear stellar cluster surrounding the black hole. Here we consider the…
Are most Cataclysmic Variables in Globular Clusters dynamically formed?
Diogo Belloni, Mirek Giersz, Liliana E. Rivera Sandoval +2
We have been investigating populations of cataclysmic variables (CVs) in a set of more than 300 globular cluster (GC) models evolved with the MOCCA code. One of the main questions…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database I. Intermediate mass black holes in Milky Way globular clusters and their connection to supermassive black holes
Manuel Arca Sedda, Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz
In this paper we explore the interplay between intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) and their nursing globular clusters (GCs), taking advantage of over 2000 Monte Carlo GC models.…
MOCCA Survey Database I. BHs in star clusters
Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Jakub Klencki +1
We briefly describe and discuss the set-up of the project MOCCA Survey Database I. The database contains more than 2000 Monte Carlo models of evolution of real star cluster perform…
