PPT-Towards Realistic Modeling of Massive Star Clusters

Oleg Gnedin University of Michigan g raduate student Hui Li Star clusters are dominant components of active star formation they connect smallscale SF local and global processes in galaxies. Richard B. . Larson. Yale University. Conclusions. Compact objects such as stars and black holes generally form in larger systems such as binaries, multiple systems, star clusters, or galaxies.. Gravitational interactions in these larger systems play a major role in the formation of compact objects by transporting angular momentum.. What force makes stars? . Gravity!. Out of what? Interstellar gas and dust. But this stuff is VERY low density… a dense area may have ~100 atoms / cm. 3. . Compare that the air you’re breathing… ~10. and self enrichment of globular clusters.

If we understand . the physical connection between magnetic fields in massive stars and X-rays, we could use X-ray observations to identify magnetic massive stars.. e.g. Which of the stars in this Chandra X-ray image of the Orion Nebula Cluster are massive magnetic stars? . 23. Jeff Wilkerson. Luther College. RAC. July 13, 2010. We image 3 clusters per year: M23 and two others. Image durations: 2 to 12 seconds, unfiltered. Campaign durations: 5 to 7 months.
