Globular Clusters with Dark Matter Halos. I. Initial Relaxation
Abstract
In a series of two papers, we test the primordial scenario of globular cluster formation using results of high-resolution N-body simulations. In this first paper we study the initial relaxation of a stellar core inside a live dark matter minihalo in the early universe. Our dark matter-dominated globular clusters show features that are usually attributed to the action of the tidal field of the host galaxy. Among them are the presence of an …
