Halo enrichment by disrupted globular clusters
We study the evolution of the galactic globular cluster system to determine its initial mass-function and the fraction of halo stars that could have come from disrupted globular clusters. We study the cluster evolution under the influence of two destruction mechanisms: Twobody relaxation and dynamical friction. New results of N -body simulations are used for the lifetimes of clusters dissolving...
متن کاملStochastic Self-enrichment, Pre-enrichment, and the Formation of Globular Clusters
We develop a model for stochastic pre-enrichment and self-enrichment in globular clusters (GCs) during their formation process. GCs beginning their formation have an initial metallicity determined by the pre-enrichment of their surrounding protocloud, but can also undergo internal self-enrichment during formation. Stochastic variations in metallicity arise because of the finite numbers of super...
متن کاملHeavy elements and chemical enrichment in globular clusters
High resolution (R >∼ 40 000) and high S/N spectra have been acquired with UVES on the VLT-Kueyen (Paranal Observatory, ESO Chile) for several main sequence turnoff stars (V ∼ 17 mag) and subgiants at the base of the Red Giant Branch (V ∼ 16 mag) in three globular clusters (NGC 6397, NGC 6752 and 47 Tuc/NGC 104) at different metallicities (respectively [Fe/H] ≃ −2.0;−1.5;−0.7). Spectra for a sa...
متن کاملHst Photometry of the Globular Cluster M4
This paper presents a detailed description of the acquisition and processing of a large body of imaging data for three fields in the globular cluster M4 taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Analysis with the ALLFRAME package yielded the deepest photometry yet obtained for this cluster. The resulting data-set for 4708 stars (positions and calibrated...
متن کاملSelf - enrichment in globular clusters . I . An analytic approach
By means of analytical calculations, we explore the self-enrichment scenario for Globular Cluster formation. According to this scenario, an initial burst of star formation occurs inside the core radius of the initial gaseous distribution. The outward-propagating shock wave sweeps up a shell in which gravitational instabilities may arise, leading to the formation of a second, metal-enriched, pop...
