Formation of Black Hole–White Dwarf X-Ray Binaries in Globular Clusters

Abstract Globular clusters are host to significant populations of dynamically active stellar remnants that connect to a variety of astrophysical sources. Using simulations performed with the Cluster Monte Carlo dynamics code, we study the formation of ultracompact binaries in whi...

A Cosmological Framework for Stellar Collisions at High Redshift in Proto-globular Clusters, Nuclear Star Clusters, and Little Red Dots

Abstract Observations and cosmological simulations indicate that the early Universe hosted numerous compact, high-density stellar systems, where close encounters and physical collisions between stars were likely common. We develop a bottom-up framework for stellar dynamics in suc...
