Abstract
Different types of observations, together with consistent and physical modelizations, suggest as realistic the hypothesis of enrichement of galactic nuclei by mean of massive globular clusters orbitally decayed and merged in the inner regions of early type galaxies. In this context, the scenario of globular cluster mergers and subsequent formation of a dense Super Star Cluster in the center of a triaxial galaxy is presented and discussed, together with its astrophysical implications, including that of massive black hole feeding and accretion in the center of a triaxial galaxy. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
