Evolution of Binary Stars in Multiple-Population Globular Clusters - II.
  Compact Binaries
  We present the results of a survey of N-body simulations aimed at exploring
the evolution of compact binaries in multiple-population globular clusters.We
show that as a consequence of the initial differences in the structural
properties of the first-generation (FG) and the second-generation (SG)
populations and the effects of dynamical processes on binary stars, the SG
binary fraction decreases more rapidly than that of the FG population. The
difference between the FG and SG binary fraction is qualitatively similar to
but quantitatively smaller than that found for wider binaries in our previous
investigations.The evolution of the radial variation of the binary fraction is
driven by the interplay between binary segregation, ionization and ejection.
Ionization and ejection counteract in part the effects of mass segregation but
for compact binaries the effects of segregation dominate and the inner binary
fraction increases during the cluster evolution. We explore the variation of
the difference between the FG and the SG binary fraction with the distance from
the cluster centre and its dependence on the binary binding energy and cluster
structural parameters. The difference between the binary fraction in the FG and
the SG populations found in our simulations is consistent with the results of
observational studies finding a smaller binary fraction in the SG population.
