We investigate the binarity properties in field stars using more than 50\,000 main-sequence stars with stellar mass from 0.4 to 0.85\,$M_\odot$ observed by LAMOST and {\emph Gaia} in the solar neighborhood. By adopting a power-law shape of…

Significant progress has been made toward understanding the formation of massive ($M > 8~$M$_{\odot}$) binaries in close orbits. For example, the detection of a very low velocity dispersion among the massive stars in the young region M17…

In this paper we study the evolution of a primordial black hole binary (BHB) in a sample of over 1500 direct-summation $N-$body simulations of small-and intermediate-size isolated star clusters as proxies of galactic open clusters. The BHBs…

We continue exploring our understanding of the collective properties of X-ray binaries in the stellar fields (i.e., outside globular clusters) of normal galaxies, introduced in Paper I of this series, where we considered high-mass X-ray…

We investigate the evolution of mass segregation in initially sub-structured young embedded star clusters with two different background potentials mimicking the gas. Our clusters are initially in virial or sub-virial global states and have…

We use N-body simulations to study the dynamical evolution of Population III (Pop III) stellar systems and the resulting binary statistics. We design a physically-motivated framework for the initial conditions of Pop III star clusters,…

This paper uses statistical and $N$-body methods to explore a new mechanism to form binary stars with extremely large separations ($> 0.1\,{\rm pc}$), whose origin is poorly understood. Here, ultra-wide binaries arise via chance entrapment…

We explore the relationship between young, embedded binaries and their parent cores, using observations within the Perseus Molecular Cloud. We combine recently published VLA observations of young stars with core properties obtained from…

We investigate the evolution of young star clusters using N-body simulations. We confirm that subvirial and fractal-structured clusters will dynamically mass segregate on a short timescale (within 0.5 Myr). We adopt a modified…

Context. Very low-mass (VLM) stars and brown dwarfs (BDs) present a different rotational behaviour from their solar mass counter-parts. Aims. We investigate the rotational evolution of young VLM stars and BDs using Monte Carlo simulations…

Classical Cepheid variable stars provide a unique probe to binary evolution in intermediate-mass stars over the course of several tens to hundreds of Myr. We studied the binary and multiple properties of Cepheids, assuming that all mid-B…

This paper studies the dynamical evolution of young stellar clusters with $N$ = 100 - 1000 members. We use N-body simulations to explore how evolution depends on system size $N$ and the initial conditions. Motivated by recent observations…

The evolution of a protostellar binary system is investigated while it is embedded in its parent molecular cloud core and acted upon by gas drag due to dynamical friction. Approximate analytical results are obtained for the energy and…

We present N-body simulations of intermediate-mass (3000-4000 Msun) young star clusters (SCs) with three different metallicities (Z=0.01, 0.1 and 1 Zsun), including metal-dependent stellar evolution recipes and binary evolution. Following…
