Thursday 11 Feb 2010: The early evolution of star clusters
Dr Simon Goodwin - University of Sheffield, UK
Physics, 4th Floor interaction area 15:30-16:30
Star clusters do not form as nice, round things, they form cold and clumpy. I will show how the collapse of cold, clumpy clusters leads to rapid dynamical mass segregation, the formation of 'Trapeziums', massive star ejections, binary formation and destruction, cluster destruction, and a host of other effects.
