Evolutionary Growth

AbstractThere is a growing array of supermassive black hole and nuclear star cluster scaling relations with their host spheroid, including a bent (black hole mass)–(host spheroid mass) Mbh–Msph relation and a different (massive compact object mass)–(host spheroid velocity dispersion) Mmco–σ relations for black holes and nuclear star clusters. By combining the observed Mbh ∝ σ5.5 relation with the observed Mnc ∝ σ1.6–2.7 relation, we derive the expression Mbh ∝ Mnc2–3.4, which should hold until the nuclear star clusters are eventually destroyed in the larger core-Sérsic spheroids. This new mass scaling relation helps better quantify the rapid evolutionary growth of massive black holes in dense star clusters, and the relation is consistently recovered when coupling the observed Mnc ∝ Msph0.6–1.0 relation with the recently observed quadratic relation Mbh ∝ Msph2 for Sérsic spheroids.

Equilibrium Profile

AbstractWe present results of N-body simulations on the formation of massive black holes by run-away merging in young star clusters and the later dynamical evolution of star clusters containing massive black holes. We determine the initial conditions necessary for run-away merging to form a massive black hole and study the equilibrium profile that is established in the cluster center as a result of the interaction of stars with the central black hole. Our results show that star clusters which contain black holes have projected luminosity profiles that can be fitted by standard King models. The presence of massive black holes in (post-)core collapse clusters is therefore ruled out by our simulations.

ABSTRACT Most stars form in dense stellar environments. It is speculated that some dense star clusters may host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), which may have formed from runaway collisions between high-mass stars, or from the mergers of less massive black holes. Here, we numerically explore the evolution of populations of planets in star clusters with an IMBH. We study the dynamical evolution of single-planet systems and free-floating planets, over a period of 100 Myr, in star clusters without an IMBH, and in clusters with a central IMBH of mass $100\, \mathrm{M}_\odot$ or $200\, \mathrm{M}_\odot$. In the central region ($r\lesssim 0.2$ pc), the IMBH’s tidal influence on planetary systems is typically 10 times stronger than the average neighbour star. For a star cluster with a $200\, \mathrm{M}_\odot$ IMBH, the region in which the IMBH’s influence is stronger within the virial radius (∼1 pc). The IMBH quenches mass segregation, and the stars in the core tend to move towards intermediate regions. The ejection rate of both stars and planets is higher when an IMBH is present. The rate at which planets are expelled from their host star rate is higher for clusters with higher IMBH masses, for t < 0.5trh, while remains mostly constant while the star cluster fills its Roche lobe, similar to a star cluster without an IMBH. The disruption rate of planetary systems is higher in initially denser clusters, and for wider planetary orbits, but this rate is substantially enhanced by the presence of a central IMBH.

We present a procedure which allows to predict the dissolution times of star clusters in a simple way. The dissolution time of a cluster depends mainly on its total mass, its median radius and its galactic environment (galactic tidal field and passing massive objects). As an example, we discuss the lifetimes of LMC clusters. Finally, we show that massive black holes, which have been proposed as the major constituent of the dark coronae of galaxies, are very effective in destroying globular clusters.
