Imaging the dense stellar cluster R136 with VLT-MAD
M. A. Campbell, C. J. Evans, J. Ascenso +4
We evaluate the performance of the Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) from H and Ks imaging of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Maps of the full-width half…
The Early Expansion of Cluster Cores
N. Bastian, M. Gieles, S. P. Goodwin +4
The observed properties of young star clusters, such as the core radius and luminosity profile, change rapidly during the early evolution of the clusters. Here we present observati…
Lifetimes of tidally limited star clusters with different radii
M. Gieles, H. Baumgardt
We study the escape rate, dN/dt, from clusters with different radii in a tidal field using analytical predictions and direct N-body simulations. We find that dN/dt depends on the r…
An alternative method to study star cluster disruption
Mark Gieles, Nate Bastian
Many embedded star clusters do not evolve into long-lived bound clusters. The most popular explanation for this "infant mortality" of young clusters is the expulsion of natal gas b…
Star cluster life-times: dependence on mass, radius and environment
Mark Gieles, Henny Lamers, Holger Baumgardt
The dissolution time (t_dis) of clusters in a tidal field does not scale with the ``classical'' expression for the relaxation time. First, the scaling with N, and hence cluster mas…
Integrated properties of mass segregated star clusters
E. Gaburov, M. Gieles
In this contribution we study integrated properties of dynamically segregated star clusters. The observed core radii of segregated clusters can be 50% smaller than the ``true'' cor…
