The effect of stellar helium abundance on dynamics of multiple populations in globular clusters

Abstract

We incorporate a semi-analytic formula for the main-sequence lifetime of helium-rich stars in N-body simulations of multiple population globular clusters to investigate how the enriched helium stars impact the dynamics of globular clusters. We show that a globular cluster with a helium-rich concentrated population will be slightly smaller than a globular cluster with a normal-helium second generation, with the largest difference seen in the …
