Dr. Francisco I. Aros

I am an astrophysicist studying the dynamics of stellar systems and connecting numerical simulations with observations through dynamical models such as those derived from the Jeans equations, aiming to improve the mass modelling of stellar systems and particularly for the estimation of dark mass components. My current focus is the internal dynamics of globular clusters, integrating prescriptions to include collisionality effects into the Jeans equations models as well as to study the dynamical effects of stellar- and intermediate-mass black holes and the dynamical mixing of multiple populations in globular clusters.
