Star Cluster Migration Near the Galactic Center
Abstract
We performed a self-consistent N-body simulation of star clusters in the Galactic center (GC), taking into account the collisions of stars and formation of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). We find that if an IMBH forms in the cluster, it carries young stars to the GC by a 1:1 resonance.
