Formation of massive black holes in dense star clusters. I. Mass segregation and core collapse
Gürkan, Mehmet Atakan; Rasio, FA (2004-04-01)
We study the early dynamical evolution of young dense star clusters by using Monte Carlo simulations for systems with up to N = 10(7) stars. Rapid mass segregation of massive main-sequence stars and the development of the ...
Run-away IMBH formation in dense star clusters
Freitag, M; Gürkan, Mehmet Atakan; Rasio, FA (2004-01-01)
We have established under which conditions core collapse of a spherical cluster occurs before massive stars have time to evolve off the main sequence (MS). We consider cluster central velocity dispersions of 100 km s(-1) a...
Post-glitch RXTE-PCA observations of the Vela pulsar
Gürkan, Mehmet Atakan; Baykal, Altan; Strohmayer, Tod (2000-04-01)
We report the results of analysis of observations of the Vela Pulsar by PCA on RXTE. Our data consists of two parts. The first part contains observations at 1, 4, and 9 days after the glitch in 1996 and has 27000 sec, tota...
