Formation and evolution of clumpy tidal tails around globular clusters
R. Capuzzo Dolcetta, P. Di Matteo, P. Miocchi
We present some results of numerical simulations of a globular cluster orbiting in the central region of a triaxial galaxy on a set of 'loop' orbits. Tails start forming after abou…
Large scale star formation in galaxies. II. The spirals NGC 3377A, NGC 3507 and NGC 4394
A. Vicari, P. Battinelli, R. Capuzzo--Dolcetta +2
The identification of young star groupings (YSG) in the three spiral galaxies NGC 3377A, NGC 3507, NGC 4394 is obtained by mean of the statistical method described in Paper I. We f…
An efficient parallel tree-code for the simulation of self-gravitating systems
P. Miocchi, R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta
We describe a parallel version of our tree-code for the simulation of self-gravitating systems in Astrophysics. It is based on a dynamic and adaptive method for the domain decompos…
Galactic nuclear activity induced by globular cluster merging
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta
The interpretation of the difference observed between the radial distribution of globular clusters and that of halo-bulge stars in elliptical galaxies is discussed in terms of evol…
Application of an objective method for the identification of Young Star Groupings in spiral galaxies
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta, A. Vicari, P. Battinelli +1
We present some results of the application of our automatic technique for the identification of Young Star Groupings (YSGs) in spiral galaxies. In this report we discuss our new re…
On the use of a heterogeneous MIMD-SIMD platform to simulate the dynamics of globular clusters with a central massive object
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta, N. Pucello, V. Rosato +1
The dynamics of a large stellar (globular) cluster containing N=128,000 stars has been simulated by a direct summation (O(N)) method by using a heterogeneous platform. Prelimin…
