====== GC2: Challenge 2 ====== ===== Clusters with a mass function ===== **PI**: Miklos Peuten\\ **Other participants**: Mark Gieles, Adriano Agnello, Alice Zocchi, Antonio Sollima, Vincent Henault-Brunet, Anna Lisa Varri Questions to address: - Can the mass segregation be reproduced by multi-mass King models? - How important is the effect of mass segregation? - How correct is the assumption of energy equipartition? Example of comparison between isotropic multi-mass model and N-body model with 100% retention fraction of stellar BHs:\\ {{:multi-mass.png}} ==== Effect of metallicity ==== Density and velocity profiles of clusters with different mass function:\\ {{:density-velocity-mm.png}} Importance for mass-to-light ratio: (Shanahan et al. to be submitted):\\ {{:mass-to-light-m31.png}} The relevant snapshots from simulations with a mass function are available in [[:tests:collision:mock_data|section B of the Mock data page]]. The definition of the stellar types (KSTAR) used in the ''NBODY6'' snapshots can be found in the [[:tests:collision:mock_data|Appendix section of the Mock data page]]. ==== Anisotropy in multi-mass models ==== {{:multi-mass_michie_df.png}} Anisotropy profile of different components in multi-mass clusters. Left: N-body simulation with 10% retention fraction of black holes. Right: Three-component multi-mass Michie model. {{:beta_multi-mass.png}} Anisotropy profile of different mass components in Michie-King multi-mass model constructed with a dependence of the anisotropy radius on stellar mass. {{:beta_multi-mass_eta.png}} Anisotropy profile of different components in multi-mass cluster, N-body simulation with 100% retention fraction of black holes. {{:beta0p5gyr.png}}
