10 Jun 1997 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | 1 and 2), Piet Hut , Stephen L. W. McMillan , Frank Verbunt ( Amsterdam NL, Utrecht NL, Princeton IAS, Drexel University USA | Abstract: | Three-body effects greatly complicate stellar evolution. We model the effects of encounters of binaries with single stars, based on parameters chosen from conditions prevalent in the cores of globular clusters. For our three-body encounters, we start with a population of primordial binaries, and choose incoming stars from the evolving single star populations of Portgies Zwart, Hut and Verbunt (1997). In addition, we study the formation of new binaries through tidal capture among the single stars. In subsequent papers in this series, we will combine stellar evolution with the dynamics of a full N-body system. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9706090 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
