Stellar Collisions in the Galactic Center: Massive Stars, Collision Remnants, and Missing Red Giants
Like most galaxies, the Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its center, surrounded by a nuclear star cluster. In this dense star cluster, direct collisions can occur between stars before they evolve off the main sequence. Using a statistical approach, we characterize the outcomes o...
