Astrophysical research often relies on sophisticated software tools to model, simulate, and analyze complex astronomical phenomena. The dynamic range in astrophysics simulations often covers more than 20 orders of magnitude in temporal and spatial scales. Further complications are introduced by the interaction among various physicals process, such as gravity, hydrodynamics, nuclear fusion...
Nuclear and globular star clusters (NSC and GC) are spectacular self-gravitating stellar systems in our Galaxy and across the Universe - in many respects. They populate disks and spheroids of galaxies as well as almost every galactic center. In massive elliptical galaxies NSCs harbor supermassive black holes, which influence the evolution of their host galaxies as a whole. The evolution of...
