Computational Gravitational Dynamics
International School and Workshop on Computational Gravitational Dynamics
3 to 13 May 2010 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, The Netherlands
(Advanced school 3-7 May , Workshop 10-13 May)
Computational astrophysics is a fast growing discipline which envelopes computational science, astronomy and physics. There is a range of expert fields within computational astrophysics, some of which seem obviously related but are socially and professionally well separated. This advanced school and workshop bridges gaps between a range of specialized fields in computational astrophysics, in particular on those disciplines that simulate gravitational dynamics using N-body techniques.
The advanced school (3 to 7 May) is open for registration by advanced MSc and starting PhD students. The topics of the school will cover the N-body methods for simulating planetary systems, star clusters, galaxies and cosmological large scale structure.
The workshop (10 to 13 May) will cover the same topics as those discussed during the advanced school. Participants for the school will be invited to stay during the workshop.
The scientific organizers of the school are:
- Simon Portegies Zwart (University of Leiden)
- Steve McMillan (Drexel University)
- Alice Quillen (University of Rochester)
- Joachim Stadel (University of Zurich)
