Phase mixing of popped star clusters (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Candlish, G. N., Smith, R., Fellhauer, M., Gibson, B. K., Kroupa, P., & Assmann, P. (2013, November). Phase mixing of popped star clusters. Presented at XIV Latin American Regional IAU Meeting

As star clusters are expected to form with low star formation efficiencies, the gas in the cluster is expelled quickly and early in their development: the star cluster pops. This leads to an unbound stellar system. Previous N-body simulations have de... Read More about Phase mixing of popped star clusters.
