Evolution of star clusters on eccentric orbits
Maxwell Xu Cai, Mark Gieles, Douglas C. Heggie +1
We study the evolution of star clusters on circular and eccentric orbits using direct -body simulations. We model clusters with initially and single s…
Block Time Step Storage Scheme for Astrophysical N-body Simulations
Maxwell Xu Cai, Yohai Meiron, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven +2
Astrophysical research in recent decades has made significant progress thanks to the availability of various -body simulation techniques. With the rapid development of high-perf…
Planetary Systems in Star Clusters
Maxwell Xu Cai, Rainer Spurzem, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven
In the solar neighborhood, where the typical relaxation timescale is larger than the cosmic age, at least 10\% to 15\% of Sun-like stars have planetary systems with Jupiter-mass pl…
