Tidal Disruption of Stellar Clusters and the Spatial Distribution of Their Remnants Near the Galactic Center
The accretion of massive star clusters via dynamical friction has previously been established to be a likely scenario for the buildup of nuclear stellar clusters (NSCs). A remaining issue is whether strong external tidal perturbation may lead to the severe disruption of loosely bound clusters well b...
