  • On the Effects of Subvirial Initial Conditions and the Birth
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 000–000 (0000) Printed 24 October 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) On the Effects of Subvirial Initial Conditions and the Birth Temperature of R136 Daniel P. Caputo1⋆, Nathan de Vries1 and Simon Portegies Zwart1 1Leiden Observatory, Leiden University, PO Box 9513, 2300 RA Leiden, the Netherlands 24 October 2018 ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of different initial virial temperatures, Q, on the dynamics of star clusters. We find that the virial temperature has a strong effect on many aspects of the resulting system, including among others: the fraction of bodies escaping from the system, the depth of the collapse of the system, and the strength of the mass segregation. These differences deem the practice of using “cold” initial conditions no longer a simple choice of convenience. The choice of initial virial temperature must be carefully considered as its impact on the remainder of the simulation can be profound. We discuss the pitfalls and aim to describe the general behavior of the collapse and the resultant system as a function of the virial temperature so that a well reasoned choice of initial virial temperature can be made. We make a correction to the previous theoretical estimate for the minimum radius, Rmin, of the cluster at the deepest (−1/3) moment of collapse to include a Q dependency, Rmin ≈ Q+N , where N is the number of particles. We use our numericalresults to infer more aboutthe initial conditions of the young cluster R136. Based on our analysis, we find that R136 was likely formed with a rather cool, but not cold, initial virial temperature (Q ≈ 0.13).

Milone Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Australian National University, Mt Stromlo Observatory, Cotter Road, Weston, ACT 2611, Australia ABSTRACT An increasing number of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the Magellanic Clouds have been found to exhibit bimodal or extended main sequences (MSs) in their color{magnitude diagrams (CMDs). These features are usually interpreted in terms of a coeval stellar population with different stellar rotational rates, where the blue and red MS stars are populated by non- (or slowly) and rapidly rotating stellar populations, respectively. However, some studies have shown that an age spread of several million years is required to reproduce the observed wide turn-off regions in some YMCs. Here we present the ultraviolet{visual CMDs of four Large and Small Magellanic Cloud YMCs, NGC 330, NGC 1805, NGC 1818, and NGC 2164, based on high-precision Hubble Space Telescope photometry. We show that they all exhibit extended main-sequence turn-offs (MSTOs).

  • The Tarantula – Revealed by X-Rays (T-Rex) a Definitive Chandra
    TheTarantula{ Revealed byX-rays (T-ReX) A Definitive Chandra Investigation of 30 Doradus Our first impressions of spiral and irregular galaxies are defined by massive star-forming regions (MSFRs), signposts marking spiral arms, bars, and starbursts. They remind us that galaxies really are evolving, churned by the continuous injection of energy and processed material. MSFRs offer us a microcosm of starburst astrophysics, where winds from O and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars combine with supernovae to carve up the neutral medium from which they formed, both triggering and suppressing new generations of stars. With X-ray observations we see the stars themselves|the engines that shape the larger view of a galaxy|along with the hot, shocked ISM created by massive star feedback, which in turn fills the superbubbles that define starburst clusters (Fig. 1). We propose the 2 Ms Chandra/ACIS-I X-ray Visionary Project T-ReX, an intensive study of 30 Doradus (The Tarantula Nebula) in the LMC, the most powerful MSFR in the Local Group. To date Chandra has invested just 114 ks in this iconic target|proportionally far less than other premier observatories (e.g. HST, VLT, Spitzer, VISTA)|revealing only the most massive stars and large-scale diffuse structures. This very deep observation is essential to engage the great power of Chandra's unparalleled spatial resolution, a unique resource that will remain unmatched for another decade. T-ReX will reveal the X-ray properties of hundreds of 30 Dor's low-metallicity massive stars [1], thousands of lower-mass pre-main sequence (pre-MS) stars that record its star formation history [2], and parsec-scale shocks from winds and supernovae that are shredding its ISM [3,4].

The observations provide an unprecedented spectroscopic census of the massive stars and ionised gas in the vicinity of R136, the young, dense star cluster located in NGC 2070, at the heart of the richest star-forming region in the Local Group. Spectrophotometry and radial-velocity estimates of the nebular gas (superimposed on the stellar spectra) are provided for 2255 point sources extracted from the MUSE datacubes, and we present estimates of stellar radial velocities for 270 early-type stars (finding an average systemic velocity of 271 ± 41 km s−1).

  • Giant Stellar Arcs in the Large Magellanic Cloud: a Possible Link with Past Activity of the Milky Way Nucleus
    Giant stellar arcs in the Large Magellanic Cloud: a possible link with past activity of the Milky Way nucleus Yuri N. Efremov* Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow 119992, Russia Accepted 2012 November 1. Received 2012 November 1; in original form 2012 September 7 ABSTRACT The origin of the giant stellar arcs in the LMC remains a controversial issue, discussed since 1966. No other star/cluster arc is so perfect a segment of a circle; moreover, there is another similar arc near-by. Many hypotheses were advanced to explain these arcs, and all but one of these were disproved. It was proposed in 2004 that origin of these arcs was due to the bow shock from the jet, which is intermittently fired by the Milky Way nucleus – and during the last episode of its activity the jet was pointed to the LMC. Quite recently evidence for such a jet has really appeared. We suppose it was once energetic enough to trigger star formation in the LMC, and if the jet opening angle was about 2°, it could push out HI gas from the region of about 2 kpc in size, forming a cavity LMC4, - but also squeezed two dense clouds, which occurred in the same area, causing the formation of stars along their surfaces facing the core of the MW. In result, spherical segments of the stellar shells might arise, visible now as the arcs of Quadrant and Sextant, the apices of which point to the center of the MW. This orientation of both arcs can be the key to unlocking their origin.
