The Effect of Pre-Main-Sequence Stars on Star Cluster Dynamics
Abstract
We investigate the effects of the addition of pre-main-sequence evolution to star cluster simulations. We allowed stars to follow pre-main-sequence tracks that begin at the deuterium-burning birth line and end at the zero-age main sequence. We compared our simulations to ones in which the stars began their lives at the zero-age main sequence, and also investigated the effects of particular choices for initial binary orbital parameters. We find …
