The impact of a top-heavy IMF on the formation and evolution of dark star clusters

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT The Spitzer instability leads to the formation of a black hole subsystem (BHSub) at the centre of a star cluster providing energy to luminous stars (LSs) and increasing their rate of evaporation. When the self-depletion time of the BHSub exceeds the evaporation time of the LSs, a dark star cluster (DSC) will appear.
