Star cluster ecology III: Runaway collisions in young compact star clusters
Simon Portegies Zwart, Junichiro Makino, Stephen L. W. McMillan +1
The evolution of young compact star clusters is studied using N-body simulations in which both stellar evolution and physical collisions between stars are taken into account. The i…
High-Performance Special-Purpose Computers in Science
Toshiyuki Fukushige, Piet Hut, Jun Makino
The next decade will be an exciting time for computational physicists. After 50 years of being forced to use standardized commercial equipment, it will finally become relatively st…
Stellar Dynamics of Dense Stellar Systems
Piet Hut
Stellar dynamics is almost unreasonably well suited for an implementation in terms of special-purpose hardware. Unlike the case of molecular dynamics, stellar dynamics deals exclus…
On the dissolution of evolving star clusters
Simon Portegies Zwart, Piet Hut, Junichiro Makino +1
Using direct N-body simulations which include both the evolution of single stars and the tidal field of the parent galaxy, we study the dynamical evolution of globular clusters and…
