Our recent investigation (Ishchenko et al. 2023) was found the 10 Milky Way globular clusters which can potentially to interact with the nuclear star cluster during their lifetime. For the dynamical orbital integration of GCs, including the effects of stellar evolution, we employed a high-order parallel N-body code φ−GPU, which is based on the fourth-order Hermite integration scheme with...
We present the results of a set of N-body simulations aimed at investigating the long-term kinematic and spatial evolution of rotating multiple-stellar populations in globular clusters.
Our simulations start with a compact, rapidly rotating, and flattened second-generation (SG) subsystem embedded in the central regions of a more diffuse, and slow rotating first-generation (FG) cluster.

Globular clusters (GCs) are among the longest-studied stellar systems. Despite extensive study, their formation mechanisms, evolutionary history, and interplay with the host galaxy are still unknown. A key to solving these questions lies in the analysis of their internal kinematics, which can provide invaluable insights into their dynamical evolution. However, the study of GC kinematics...
The formation process of star clusters has not been fully understood yet. Recent numerical simulations of star-cluster formation are reaching the mass of globular clusters (1e6 Msun). However, in hydrodynamics simulation with N-body, the stars have been treated as super particles, representing several stars as one particle. We have developed a new N-body/smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH)...
Despite the rising number of binary black hole (BH) mergers detected as gravitational wave (GW) sources by LIGO/Virgo, the evolutionary origin of these events remains a mystery. A growing body of evidence suggests that many of these events originated in dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs). Dense environments can produce qualitatively different properties of binary BH...
The LIGO/Virgo detections showed unexpected progenitor black hole masses (~66 solar mass). Such black holes with their mass falling in the pair instability mass-gap region seek a new formation channel. We focus on the so-called AGN channel to understand such a puzzling progenitor mass. In this study, we numerically model 3D global MHD accretion flows of embedded black holes within a turbulent...
Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters assemble hierarchically from sub-clusters with a universal power-law cluster mass function. We study the consequences of such assembly for the formation of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at low metallicities ($Z=0.01\;Z_\mathrm{\odot}$) with our updated N-body code BIFROST based on the...
Gravitational wave detections of black holes (BHs) in the pair-instability mass gap have sparked interest in dynamical formation channels. In my work, I have explored the process of hierarchical BH mergers in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), which stand out with respect to other dynamical environments for three main reasons: enhanced binary formation due to migration traps, accelerated binary...
