Virial-based extraction of structures in numerical simulations: The vibes tool
Simon Chevalier, Fabien Louvet, Yann Bernard +9
The processes that determine the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and its connection to the core mass function (CMF) are among the major open questions in star formation. The de…

Momentum-conserving self-gravity in the phantom smoothed particle hydrodynamics code. Parallel dual tree traversal for the symmetric fast multipole method
Yann Bernard, Timothée David-Cléris, Daniel J. Price +1
Tree codes that approximate groups of distant particles with multipole expansions are the standard way to accelerate the computation of self-gravity on particles. While momentum-co…

DAWN. I. Simulating the formation and early evolution of stellar clusters with Phantom N-Body
Yann Bernard, Estelle Moraux, Daniel J. Price +3
Context. Simulating stellar dynamics in a molecular cloud environment is numerically challenging due to the strong coupling between young stars and their surrounding gas, and the l…
