On the onset of runaway stellar collisions in dense star clusters - II. Hydrodynamics of three-body interactions
The onset of runaway stellar collisions in young star clusters is more likely to initiate with an encounter between a binary and a third star than between two single stars.Using the initial conditions of such three-star encounters from direct N -body simulations, we model the resulting interaction by means of …
