NbodyCP:A direct N-body simulation code for composite stellar populations of single and binary star clusters
Zhongmu Li, Rainer Spurzem
It is well-known that some star clusters contain composite stellar populations (CSPs), in which the metallicities or (and) ages of stars are different. The formation and evolution…
Dynamical evolution of massive black holes in galactic-scale N-body simulations - introducing the regularized tree code "rVINE"
S. J. Karl, S. J. Aarseth, T. Naab +2
We present a hybrid code combining the OpenMP-parallel tree code VINE with an algorithmic chain regularization scheme. The new code, called "rVINE", aims to significantly improve t…
Dynamics in Young Star Clusters: From Planets to Massive Stars
C. Olczak, R. Spurzem, Th. Henning +4
The young star clusters we observe today are the building blocks of a new generation of stars and planets in our Galaxy and beyond. Despite their fundamental role we still lack kno…
Dynamical evolution of rotating dense stellar systems with embedded black holes
J. Fiestas, R. Spurzem
Evolution of self-gravitating rotating dense stellar systems (e.g. globular clusters, galactic nuclei) with embedded black holes is investigated. The interaction between the black…
Merging Timescales and Merger Rates of Star Clusters in Dense Star Cluster Complexes
M. Fellhauer, H. Baumgardt, P. Kroupa +1
Interacting galaxies like the famous Antennae (NGC 4038/4039) or Stephan's Quintet (HCG 92) show considerable star forming activity in their tidal arms. High resolution images (e.g…
Towards the million body problem on the computer - no news since the three-body problem?
R. Spurzem, A. Kugel
Astrophysical Challenges which demand the solution of the one million (or more) gravitating body problem are briefly discussed for the fields of cosmology, galactic nuclei and glob…
