High Performance Commodity Networking in a 512-CPU Teraflop Beowulf Cluster for Computational Astrophysics
John Dubinski, Robin Humble, Ue-Li Pen +2
We describe a new 512-CPU Beowulf cluster with Teraflop performance dedicated to problems in computational astrophysics. The cluster incorporates a cubic network topology based on…
The Warp of the Galaxy and the Orientation of the LMC Orbit
I. Garcia-Ruiz, K. Kuijken, J. Dubinski
After studying the orientation of a warp generated by a companion satellite, we show that the Galactic Warp would be oriented in a different way if the Magellanic Clouds were its c…
The Dynamical Evolution of Galaxies in Clusters
John Dubinski
The evolution of galaxies is driven strongly by dynamical processes including internal instabilities, tidal interactions and mergers. The cluster environment is a useful laboratory…
Constraining dark halos with tidal tails
John Dubinski, Chris Mihos, Lars Hernquist
Massive and extended dark halos can inhibit the formation of long tidal tails in galaxy collisions. We examine this effect using an extensive survey of simulations with different d…
Tidal Tales Two: The Effect of Dark Matter Halos on Tidal Tail Morphology and Kinematics
Chris Mihos, John Dubinski, Lars Hernquist
We examine the effect of different dark matter halo potentials on the morphology and kinematics of tidals tails in a merger model of NGC 7252. We find that models of merging galaxi…
