Scenario: Disintegrating Multiples in Early Stellar Evolution Results and Predictions of Numerical Simulations Are there “Isolated“ TTS? “Run-Away“ TTS? Ejected BDs?

Core Fragmentation: Observations
Molecular Cloud Cores fragment down to scales of <0.1pcCore mass spectrum resembles stellar IMF

Fragmentation during Cloud Collapse
During 1st (isothermal) collapse MJ Msol
RJ 100 - 1000 A.U. difficult in spherical, centrally
condensed cores, but: prolate cores with gaussian, or
uniform, profiles fragment ! simulations:

Qualitative features of disintegratingfew-body systems
Lifetime: tens of crossing times (Tcr = GMtot 5/2 / E0 3/2)
Encounters cause energy redistiribution: tight subsystems and escapers
Remnant binaries consists of most massive bodies („dynamical biasing“), rel. high eccentricity
Escapers are single, and less massive Formation of very close binaries rare Higher-order systems are hierarchically organized

Physical Scaling
- Etot/M tot = const. vvir = const.- Rvir = 125 AU and Mtot = 3M : vvir = 3.3 km/sec
Dispersion Velocities
HUGE differences in recoil velocities of S and B‘s dispersion velocities can be significant >vvir

System Scale and Binary Separation Distributions
post-collapse separation distribution broadened post-collapse scale reduced by 5-10 BSD depend on primary mass tends to agree (qualitatively) with DM !
