The Depletion of Giants in Globular Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
A significant depletion of red giants is observed in the central regions of post-collapsed globulars (Djorgovski et al., 1993) like M 15 (Stetson, 1991). A simple model shows that the depletion of red giants in the high-density cores of globular clusters can be understood in terms of mutual stellar collisions. Slightly outside the core stellar collisions are not frequent enough to explain the reduction in the observed number of red giants.
