Dynamik und Wachstumsprozesse supermassereicher Schwarzer Loecher der untersten und obersten Massenskala
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The project lead to the development of a code, MUESLI, which allows the study of globular cluster populations in any type of galaxy and is thus very useful for understanding the specific frequency of globular cluster systems. Globular clusters are disrupted through tides and internal evolution and decay through dynamical friction. The side-project on the low-mass X-ray binary yields the potential discovery of significant concentrated non-luminous mass in the hosting globular cluster. This work can be continued by applying MUESLI in a study of observed globular cluster systems of time-evolving galaxies to infer the possible birth distribution functions and to infer from this the likely feeding rate of the SMBH from refilling of the loss cone through disrupted globular clusters.
