星团的蒙特卡罗模拟- VI。球状星团NGC 6397

Monte Carlo Simulations of Star Clusters - VI. The globular cluster NGC 6397

M. Giersz, D. C. Heggie

摘要:

我们描述了附近的球状星团NGC 6397的动力学演化的Monte Carlo模型。该代码包括两体松弛的治疗,大多数类型的三体和四体相互作用,涉及原始双星和动态形成的,银河潮汐,以及单星和双星的内部演化。我们到达了一组初始参数的集群,经过12 Gyr的演变,给出了一个模型与一个相当令人满意的匹配的表面亮度分布,速度色散分布,和光度函数在两个领域。我们特别描述了这些方面的演变,区分这个集群从M4,它有一个大致相似的质量和银河系的距离,但有一个质的不同的表面亮度剖面。在我们的建模的局限性,我们得出结论,差异的最合理的解释是波动:这两个集群是后塌缩对象,但有时有可分辨的核心,有时没有。

英文摘要:

We describe Monte Carlo models for the dynamical evolution of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397. The code includes treatments of two-body relaxation, most kinds of three- and four-body interactions involving primordial binaries and those formed dynamically, the Galactic tide, and the internal evolution of both single and binary stars. We arrive at a set of initial parameters for the cluster which, after 12Gyr of evolution, gives a model with a fairly satisfactory match to the surface brightness profile, the velocity dispersion profile, and the luminosity function in two fields. We describe in particular those aspects of the evolution which distinguish this cluster from M4, which has a roughly similar mass and Galactocentric distance, but a qualitatively different surface brightness profile. Within the limitations of our modelling, we conclude that the most plausible explanation for the difference is fluctuations: both clusters are post-collapse objects, but sometimes have resolvable cores and sometimes not.
