Star clusters in evolving galaxies

F Renaud - New Astronomy Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Their ubiquity and extreme densities make star clusters probes of prime importance of
galaxy evolution. Old globular clusters keep imprints of the physical conditions of their …

A sharper view of Pal 5's tails: discovery of stream perturbations with a novel non-parametric technique

D Erkal, SE Koposov, V Belokurov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Only in the Milky Way is it possible to conduct an experiment that uses stellar
streams to detect low-mass dark matter subhaloes. In smooth and static host potentials, tidal …

More on the structure of tidal tails

AHW Küpper, RR Lane… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the epicyclic motion of stars esca** from star clusters. Using streaklines,
we visualize the path of esca** stars and show how epicyclic motion leads to over-and …

Tidal tails of star clusters

AHW Küpper, P Kroupa, H Baumgardt… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Based on recent findings of a formation mechanism of substructure in tidal tails by Küpper et
al., we investigate a more comprehensive set of N-body models of star clusters on orbits …

Open star clusters and their asymmetrical tidal tails

P Kroupa, J Pflamm-Altenburg… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Stars that evaporate from their star cluster by the energy equipartition process end up in
either a leading or a trailing tidal tail. In Newtonian gravitation and for open star clusters in …

On the structure of tidal tails

AHW Küpper, A Macleod… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
We examine the longitudinal distribution of the stars esca** from a cluster along tidal tails.
Using both theory and simulations, we show that, even in the case of a star cluster in a …

On feathers, bifurcations and shells: the dynamics of tidal streams across the mass scale

NC Amorisco - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
I present an organic description of the spectrum of regimes of collisionless tidal streams and
define the orderings between the relevant physical quantities that shape their morphology …

Peculiarities in velocity dispersion and surface density profiles of star clusters

AHW Küpper, P Kroupa, H Baumgardt… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Based on our recent work on tidal tails of star clusters we investigate star clusters of a few
104 M⊙ by means of velocity dispersion profiles and surface density profiles. We use a …

The e-TidalGCs project-Modeling the extra-tidal features generated by Galactic globular clusters

S Ferrone, P Di Matteo, A Mastrobuono-Battisti… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
We present the e-TidalGCs project, aimed at modeling and predicting the extra-tidal features
surrounding all Galactic globular clusters for which 6D phase-space information, masses …
