Stellar Dynamics of Dense Stellar Systems
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 exclusively with a long-range force, gravity, which leads to a computational cost scaling as the square of the number of stars involved. While special tricks can lead to a reduction of this cost from ∼ N2 to ∼ N logN in the...
متن کاملDynamics of Triaxial Stellar Systems
Recent work on the dynamics of triaxial stellar systems is reviewed. The motion of boxlike orbits in realistic triaxial potentials is generically stochastic. The degree to which the stochasticity manifests itself in the dynamics depends on the chaotic mixing timescale, which is a small multiple of the crossing time in triaxial models with steep cusps or massive central singularities. Low-lumino...
متن کاملGravitational Dynamics of Large Stellar Systems
Internal dynamical evolution can drive stellar systems into states of high central density. For many star clusters and galactic nuclei, the time scale on which this occurs is significantly less than the age of the universe. As a result, such systems are expected to be sites of frequent interactions among stars, binary systems, and stellar remnants, making them efficient factories for the produc...
متن کاملRegular and Chaotic Dynamics of Triaxial Stellar Systems
We use Laskar’s frequency mapping technique to study the dynamics of triaxial galaxies with central density cusps and nuclear black holes. For ensembles of ∼ 10 orbits, we numerically compute the three fundamental frequencies of the motion, allowing us to map out the Arnold web. We also compute diffusion rates of stochastic orbits in frequency space. The objects of fundamental importance in str...
متن کاملA physicist’s view of stellar dynamics: dynamical instability of stellar systems
I argue that the widely adopted framework of stellar dynamics survived since 1940s, is not fitting the current knowledge on non-linear systems. Borrowed from plasma physics when several fundamental features of perturbed non-linear systems were unknown, that framework ignores the difference in the role of perturbations in two different classes of systems, in plasma with Debye screening and gravi...
