Formation, Growth, and Destruction of Nuclear Star Clusters
Torsten Boeker
TL;DR
This paper reviews current understanding of nuclear star clusters, proposing a simplified model for their formation, growth, and destruction across different galaxy types.
Contribution
It synthesizes recent insights into nuclear star clusters into a cohesive, simplified framework for their lifecycle in various galaxy morphologies.
Findings
Nuclear star clusters form through multiple channels.
Growth involves accretion and star formation processes.
Destruction mechanisms include dynamical interactions and galaxy evolution.
Abstract
This talk is an attempt to combine recent insights into the nature of the nuclear star clusters in galaxies of various morphologies into a coherent (albeit simplistic) picture for their formation, growth, and eventual destruction.
