Star Cluster Ecology: VII The evolution of young dense star clusters containing primordial binaries
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan, Jun Makino
We study the first 100Myr of the evolution of isolated star clusters initially containing 144179 stars, including 13107 (10%) primordial hard binaries. Our calculations include the…
High-Performance Small-Scale Simulation of Star Clusters Evolution on Cray XD1
Keigo Nitadori, Junichiro Makino, George Abe
In this paper, we describe the performance of an -body simulation of star cluster with 64k stars on a Cray XD1 system with 400 dual-core Opteron processors. A number of astrophy…
A Time-Symmetric Block Time-Step Algorithm for N-Body Simulations
Junichiro Makino, Piet Hut, Murat Kaplan +1
The method of choice for integrating the equations of motion of the general N-body problem has been to use an individual time step scheme. For the sake of efficiency, block time st…
High-Resolution Simulations of a Moon-Forming Impact and Post-Impact Evolution
Keiichi Wada, Eiichiro Kokubo, Junichiro Makino
In order to examine the ``giant impact hypothesis'' for the Moon formation, we run the first grid-based, high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations for an impact between proto-Earth…
