General properties of stellar encounters of Populations I-III.
| N | ⟨ΔE/m⟩ | ⟨dt⟩ | dEcum | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [km2 s−2] | [yr] | [M⊙ km2 s−2] | ||
| Total | 13383 | 5.11 × 106 | 153.73 | 7.36 × 1014 |
| Population 1 | 2816 | 4.51 × 106 | 177.57 | 1.77 × 1014 |
| Population 2 | 6680 | 4.79 × 106 | 138.95 | 3.33 × 1014 |
| Population 3 | 3465 | 5.93 × 106 | 166.94 | 1.95 × 1014 |
Notes. The columns represent, from left to right: number of stars in the population, median specific energy change per encounter, median duration of most energetic encounter, and cumulative energy change of the population. The values of the three rightmost quantities are calculated from only the most energetic interaction of each star.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
