Are there brown dwarfs in globular clusters ?
We present an analytical method for constraining the substellar initial mass function in globular clusters, based on the observed frequency of transit events. Globular clusters typically have very high stellar densities where close encounters are relatively common, and thus tidal capture can occur to form close binary systems. Encounters between main sequence stars and lower-mass objects can re...
متن کاملHelium-Core White Dwarfs in Globular Clusters
We examine the theoretical implications of a population of low-mass heliumcore white dwarfs in globular clusters. In particular, we focus on the observed population in the core of NGC 6397, where several low-mass white dwarf canditates have been identified as “non-flickerers” by Cool and collaborators. Age and mass estimates from cooling models, combined with dynamical and evolutionary consider...
متن کاملSpectral types and masses of white dwarfs in globular clusters , ,
White dwarfs in globular clusters offer additional possibilities to determine distances and ages of globular clusters, provided their spectral types and masses are known. We therefore started a project to obtain spectra of white dwarfs in the globular clusters NGC 6397 and NGC 6752. All observed white dwarfs show hydrogen-rich spectra and are therefore classified as DA. Analysing the multi-colo...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters Indicate Thatultra-diffuse Galaxies Are Dwarfs
We present an analysis of archival HST/ACS imaging in the F475W (g475), F606W (V606), and F814W (I814) bands of the globular cluster (GC) system of a large (3.4 kpc effective radius) ultra-diffuse galaxy (DF17) believed to belocated in the Coma Cluster of galaxies. We detect 11 GCs down to the 5σ completeness limit of the imaging (I814=27 mag). Correcting for background and our detection lim...
متن کاملEccentric Double White Dwarfs as Lisa Sources in Globular Clusters
We consider the formation of double white dwarfs (DWDs) through dynamical interactions in globular clusters. Such interactions can give rise to eccentric DWDs, in contrast to the exclusively circular population expected to form in the Galactic disk. We show that for a 5 yr Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission and distances as far as the Large Magellanic Cloud, multiple harmonics fr...
