Polymerization of building blocks of life on Europa and other icy moons
Jun Kimura, Norio Kitadai
The outer solar system may provide a potential habitat for extraterrestrial life. Remote sensing data from the Galileo spacecraft suggest that the jovian icy moons, Europa, Ganymed…
GPU-Enabled Particle-Particle Particle-Tree Scheme for Simulating Dense Stellar Cluster System
Masaki Iwasawa, Simon Portegies Zwart, Junichiro Makino
We describe the implementation and performance of the (Particle-Particle Particle-Tree) scheme for simulating dense stellar systems. In , the force experie…
Radial distributions of arm-gas offsets as an observational test of spiral theories
Junichi Baba, Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Fumi Egusa
Theories of stellar spiral arms in disk galaxies can be grouped into two classes based on the longevity of a spiral arm. Although the quasi-stationary density wave theory supposes…
Extrasolar Binary Planets II: Detectability by Transit Observations
K. M. Lewis, H. Ochiai, M. Nagasawa +1
We discuss the detectability of gravitationally bounded pairs of gas-giant planets (which we call "binary planets") in extrasolar planetary systems that are formed through orbital…
Formation of Phobos and Deimos via a Giant Impact
Robert Citron, Hidenori Genda, Shigeru Ida
Although the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, have long been thought to be captured asteroids, recent observations of their compositions and orbits suggest that they may have…
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics with Smoothed Pseudo-Density
Satoko Yamamoto, Takayuki R. Saitoh, Junichiro Makino
In this paper, we present a new formulation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), which, unlike the standard SPH (SSPH), is well-behaved at the contact discontinuity. The SSPH…
