On the dynamical evolution of Cepheids in star clusters
On the dynamical evolution of Cepheids in star clusters
We investigate the occurrence of classical (type-I) Cepheid variable stars (henceforth: Cepheids) in dynamically evolving star clusters from birth to an age of approximately 300 Myr. The clusters are modelled by the Aarseth code nbody6, and they feature a realistic stellar initial mass function and initial binary star population, single …
