Dynamics of Stellar Collisions

چکیده
I compare gas-dynamical and stellar-dynamical models of collisions. These two models have distinctly different physics; for example , shocks introduce irreversibility in gas systems, while stellar systems evolve in a completely reversible fashion. Nonetheless, both models yield broadly similar results, suggesting that analogies between gas and stellar dynamics have some heuristic validity even applied to collisions.

Dynamics of galactic nuclei: Mass segregation and collisions
Massive black holes (MBHs) with a mass below ∼ 10 M⊙ are likely to reside at the centre of dense stellar nuclei shaped by 2-body relaxation, close interactions with the MBH and direct collisions. In this contribution, we stress the role of mass segregation of stellar-mass black holes into the innermost tenths of a parsec and point to the importance of hydrodynamical collisions between stars. At...
متن کاملIdentified hadron spectra from pp, dA and AA collisions
The experimental data for identified hadron spectra from pp, d+A and AA collisions are reviewed. Three regions with different dominant production mechanisms are considered: soft region (pT < 2 GeV/c) – with large degree of collectivity and thermalization, hard particle production which exhibits jet-quenching in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and intermediate region (2< pT <5 GeV/c) with distinct bary...
متن کاملMicroscopic coloured quark-dynamics in the soft non-perturbative regime – Description of hadron formation in relativistic S+Au collisions at CERN
The quark-molecular-dynamics model is used to study microscopically the dynamics of the coloured quark phase and the subsequent hadron formation in relativistic S+Au collisions at the CERN-SPS. Particle spectra and hadron ratios are compared to both data and the results of hadronic transport calculations. The non-equilibrium dynamics of hadronization and the loss of correlation among quarks are...
متن کاملStellar Collisions in Young Clusters: Formation of (Very) Massive Stars?
In young star clusters, the density can be high enough and the velocity dispersion low enough for stars to collide and merge with a significant probability. This has been suggested as a possible way to build up the highmass portion of the stellar mass function and as a mechanism leading to the formation of one or two very massive stars (M∗ > 150M⊙) through a collisional runaway. I quickly revie...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
