Population of Dynamically Formed Triples in Dense Stellar Systems

  • Conference paper
Multiple Stars Across the H-R Diagram

Part of the book series: ESO Astrophysics Symposia ((ESO))

Summary

In dense stellar systems, frequent dynamical interactions between binaries lead to the formation of multiple systems. In this contribution we discuss the dynamical formation of hierarchically stable triples: the formation rate, main characteristics of dynamically formed population of triples and the impact of the triples formation on the population of close binaries. In particular, we estimate how much the population of blue stragglers and compact binaries could be affected.
