iVINE - Ionization in the parallel tree/SPH code VINE: First results on the observed age-spread around O-stars

M. Gritschneder, T. Naab, A. Burkert +3

We present a three-dimensional, fully parallelized, efficient implementation of ionizing UV radiation for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) including self-gravity. Our method i…

VINE -- A numerical code for simulating astrophysical systems using particles I: Description of the physics and the numerical methods

M. Wetzstein, Andrew F. Nelson, T. Naab +1

We present a Fortran 95 code for simulating the evolution of astrophysical systems using particles to represent the underlying fluid flow. The code is designed to be versatile, fle…

Do dwarf galaxies form in tidal tails?

M. Wetzstein, T. Naab, A. Burkert

The formation of tidal dwarf galaxies (TDG) inside tidal arms of interacting disk galaxies has been studied with N-body and N-body/SPH simulations at different resolutions. In pure…

Collisional Stellar Dynamics, Gas Dynamics and Special Purpose Computing

R. Spurzem, J. Makino, T. Fukushige +6

Challenging stellar dynamical problems, such as the study of gravothermal oscillations in star clusters, have in the past initiated the very successful building of GRAPE special pu…
