The effects of stellar dynamics on the evolution of young dense stellar systems
/ Authors
/ Abstract
In the present paper we report on first results of a project in Brussels where we study the effects of stellar dynamics on the evolution of young dense stellar systems using the 3 decades expertise in massive star evolution and our population (number and spectral) synthesis code. We highlight an unconventionally formed object scenario (UFO-scenario) for Wolf Rayet binaries and study the effects of a luminous blue variable-type instability wind mass loss formalism on the formation of intermediate mass black holes.
