Intra-cluster Globular Clusters in a Simulated Galaxy Cluster
(IOP Publishing, 2018-01)
Using a cosmological dark matter simulation of a galaxy-cluster halo, we follow the temporal evolution of its globular cluster population. To mimic the red and blue globular cluster populations, we select at high redshift ...
How Many Clusters: A Validation Index for Arbitrary-Shaped Clusters
(IEEE Computer Society, 2013-04)
Clustering validation indexes are intended to assess the goodness of clustering results. Many methods used to estimate the number of clusters rely on a validation index as a key element to find the correct answer. This paper ...
Tidal stripping of globular clusters in a simulated galaxy cluster
(IOP Publishing, 2015-06)
Using a cosmological N-body numerical simulation of the formation of a galaxy-cluster-sized halo, we analyze the temporal evolution of its globular cluster population. We follow the dynamical evolution of 38 galactic dark ...
Stopping of hypervelocity clusters in solids
(Iop Publishing, 2011-11)
Using molecular-dynamics simulations, we study the processes underlying the stopping of energetic clusters upon impact in matter. We investigate self-bombardment of both a metallic (Cu) and a van-der-Waals bonded (frozen ...
First CCD UBVI photometric analysis of four moderately young open clusters in the third galactic quadrant
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-10)
We present CCD photometry in the Johnson UBV and Kron-Cousins I systems down to V~ 22.0 for the open clusters NGC 2311, Trumpler 6, NGC 2432 and BH 54 and their surrounding fields. Trumpler 6 and BH 54 have never been ...
Open clusters: III. Fundamental parameters of B stars in NGC 6087, NGC 6250, NGC 6383 and NGC 6530. B type stars with circumstellar envelopes.
(EDP Sciences, 2018-02)
Context. Stellar physical properties of star clusters are poorly known and the cluster parameters are often quite uncertain.Aims. Our goals are to perform a spectrophotometric study of the B star population in open clusters ...
Different sodium enhancements among multiple populations of Milky Way globular clusters
(EDP Sciences, 2020-11)
We searched for clues to understand the different Na abundances measured in first and second generation stars of ancient Milky Way globular clusters. For that purpose, from the recent literature, we gathered the aforementioned ...
Clustering and percolation theory for continuum systems: Clusters with nonspecific bonds and a residence time in their definition
(Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
In this article, dedicated to the memory of Lesser Blum, we develop a theory for the physical clusters which were introduced some time ago in our group (J. Chem Phys. 116, 1097–1108, 2002). The physical cluster definition ...
Strömgren metallicities for intermediate-age and old star clusters
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
We report results that show that the straightforward star cluster metallicities obtained from Strömgren vby photometry are age-dependent and need to be corrected for further use. This outcome arises from the comparison of ...
ASteCA: Automated Stellar Cluster Analysis
(Edp Sciences, 2015)
We present the Automated Stellar Cluster Analysis package (ASteCA), a suit of tools designed to fully automate the standard tests applied on stellar clusters to determine their basic parameters. The set of functions included ...
