Stellar collisions

A star cluster forms in a giant molecular cloud as reproduced by the simulation in the model. The picture is based on the model. The blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and light colors indicate the temperature of the gas (cold and hot). Visualization by Takaki Takeda (VASA ENTERTAINMENT INC.)

"Medium and powerful: medium-mass black holes can survive in globular clusters"

First-ever model simulations of individual stars in a star cluster in the process of formation suggest possible mechanisms for the formation of intermediate-mass black holes
