1. Chaos in Stellar Dynamics - Outcomes of Binary-Single interactions in Globular Clusters
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. READ MORE

2. Fast Simulations of Star Cluster Evolution
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The evolution of globular star clusters tells the history of the formation of galaxies, how stellar streams might have formed and how the future of the Universe might look like. Although the general theoretical background of the evolution is well understood, it is difficult to conduct accurate and realistic computer simulations of objects containing thousands of interacting bodies.
