Dynamics of Stellar Systems with Collisions: Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Nearly Collisionless Limit [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalWe examine the decay of perturbations in an infinite homogeneous self-gravitating model with a Maxwellian distribution function (DF) when weak collisions are present.

Binary Stars Approaching Supermassive Black Holes: Hydrodynamics of Stellar Collisions, Mass Fallback, and Partial Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalWhen binaries are injected into low-angular-momentum orbits around a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), various outcomes can occur, including binary tidal breakup, double stellar disruptions, and stellar collision.

Stellar Collisions and Mergers in the Galactic Center
, 2000 Stars are most likely to merge or collide in regions of the highest stellar densities, and our own Galactic Center contains many stars packed into a relatively small volume -- even the ambient stellar number density in the central 50 pc is quite high, ~10^3 stars pc^{-3}.

The Evolution of Blue Stragglers Formed Via Stellar Collisions [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 1998 We have used the results of recent smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of colliding stars to create models appropriate for input into a stellar evolution code.

Evolution of Stellar Collision Products in Globular Clusters. I. Head‐on Collisions [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 We explore the evolution of collisionally merged stars in the blue straggler region of the HR diagram. The starting models for our stellar evolution calculations are the results of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of parabolic collisions between main sequence stars performed by Lombardi, Rasio and Shapiro (1996).

Magnetic Field Amplification during Stellar Collisions between Low-mass Stars
The Astrophysical Journal LettersBlue straggler stars in stellar clusters appear younger and bluer than other cluster members, offering a unique opportunity to understand the stellar dynamics and populations within their hosts.

Accretion flares from stellar collisions in galactic nuclei [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The strong tidal force in a supermassive black hole’s (SMBH) vicinity, coupled with a higher stellar density at the center of a galaxy, make it an ideal location to study the interaction between stars and black holes. Two stars moving near the SMBH could collide at a very high speed, which can result in a high energy flare.

The Astrophysical JournalNGC 1052-DF2 and -DF4 are two ultradiffuse galaxies that have been reported as deficient in dark matter and associated with the same galaxy group. Recent findings suggest that DF2 and DF4 are part of a large linear substructure of dwarf galaxies that ...
