Stellar Migration by Short Lived Density Peaks Arising from Interference of Spiral Density Waves in an N-body Simulation
Justin Comparetta, Alice C. Quillen
We identify migrating stars in an N-body simulation of a Milky-Way-like disk. Outward migration can occur when a star in a low eccentricity orbit lags a short-lived local spiral ar…
Structure in phase space associated with spiral and bar density waves in an N-body galactic disk
Alice C. Quillen, Jamie Dougherty, Micaela B. Bagley +2
An N-body hybrid simulation, integrating both massive and tracer particles, of a Galactic disk is used to study the stellar phase space distribution or velocity distributions in di…
Jeans Instability in a Tidally Disrupted Halo Satellite Galaxy
Justin Comparetta, Alice C. Quillen
We use a hybrid test particle/N-body simulation to integrate 4 million massless test particle trajectories within a fully self-consistent 10^5 particle N-body simulation. The numbe…
