This work aims to present our current best physical understanding of common-envelope
evolution (CEE). We highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas …

Galactic globular clusters, which are ancient building blocks of our Galaxy, represent a very
interesting family of stellar systems in which some fundamental dynamical processes have …

We discuss the cosmological simulation code gadget-2, a new massively parallel TreeSPH
code, capable of following a collisionless fluid with the N-body method, and an ideal gas by …

We perform a large parameter survey of collisionless N-body simulations of binary mergers
of disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, and 4: 1, using the special-purpose …

We have simulated the formation of an X-ray cluster in a cold dark matter universe using 12
different codes. The codes span the range of numerical techniques and implementations …

A novel code for the approximate computation of long-range forces between N mutually
interacting bodies is presented. The code is based on a hierarchical tree of cubic cells and …

The tree code for the approximate evaluation of gravitational forces is extended and
substantially accelerated by including mutual cell-cell interactions. These are computed by a …

This paper presents a parallel framework for simulating fluids with the Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. For low computational costs per simulation step, efficient …

Physical realism of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is greatly enhanced by
incorporating variable atomic charges which adapt to the local environment dynamically. In …

We present the basic idea, implementation, measured performance, and performance model
of FDPS (Framework for Developing Particle Simulators). FDPS is an application …
