On the origin of multiple populations during massive star cluster formation
Abstract
We investigate the possibility that multiple populations in globular clusters arise as a natural by-product of massive star-cluster formation. We use 3D radiative hydrodynamics simulations for the formation of young massive clusters to track their chemical self-enrichment during their first 5 Myr. These clusters form embedded within filamentary giant molecular clouds by a combination of gas accretion and rapid merging of protoclusters. Chemical …
