Submitted for publication in the Proceedings of IAU Symposium 351", "categories": [ "astro-ph.GA" ], "abstract": "We study the evolution of star clusters in the Galactic tidal field starting from their birth in molecular clumps. Our model clusters form according to the local-density-driven cluster formation model in which the stellar density profile is steeper than that of gas. As a result, clusters resist the gas expulsion better than predicted by earlier models. We vary the impact of the Galactic tidal field {\\lambda}, considering different Galactocentric distances (3-18 kpc), as well as different cluster sizes. Our model clusters survive the gas expulsion independent of {\\lambda}. We investigated the relation between the cluster mass at the onset of secular evolution and their dissolution time. The model clusters formed with a high star-formation efficiency (SFE) follow a tight mass-dependent dissolution relation, in agreement with previous theoretical studies. However, the low-SFE models present a shallower mass-dependent relation than high-SFE clusters, and most dissolve before reaching 1 Gyr (cluster teenage mortality).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-30T10:09:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galactic tidal field", "star clusters", "local-density-driven cluster formation model", "tight mass-dependent dissolution relation", "cluster teenage mortality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
