| astrophysics simulation software: Numerical Astrophysics Shoken M. Miyama, Kohji Tomisaka, Tomoyuki Hanawa, 2012-12-06 These are the proceedings of international conference on Numerical As trophysics 1998 (NAP98), held at National Olympic Memorial Youth Cen ter, in Tokyo, Japan in the period of March 10 - 13, 1998, and hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory, Japan (NAOJ). In the last decade numerical simulations have grown up as a major tool for astrophysics. Numerical simulations give us invaluable informa tion on complex systems and physical processes under extreme conditions which can be neither realized by experiments nor directly observed. Super computers and special purpose computers may work as very large telescopes and special purpose telescopes for theoretical astrophysics, respectively. Nu merical astrophysics ranks with other tool-oriented astronomy such as ra dio astronomy, infrared astronomy, ultraviolet astronomy, X-ray astronomy, and ')'-ray astronomy. This conference, NAP98, was planned to explore recent advances in astrophysics aided by numerical simulations. The subjects of the confer ence included the large-scale structure formation, galaxy formation and evolution, star and planets formation, accretion disks, jets, gravitational wave emission, and plasma physics. NAP98 had also sessions on numerical methods and computer science. The conference was attended by 184 sci entists from 21 countries. We enjoyed excellent talks, posters, videos, and discussions: there are 40 oral presentations, 96 posters and 16 video pre sentations. We hope that these proceedings and accompanying CD-ROM replay the friendly but inspiring atmosphere of the conference. |

Parts two and three treat radiation hydrodynamics. The power of adaptive (moving) grids is demonstrated with a number of stellar-physical simulations showing very crispy shock-front structures. |
| astrophysics simulation software: High-Energy Astrophysics Research Enabled By The Probe-Class Mission Concept HEX-P Gabriele Ponti, Murray Brightman, Esra Bulbul , Renee Ludlam, Daniel Stern, Javier A. García, 2025-06-02 The Astro 2020 Decadal report (Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s) identified the need for a new class of mission for the next decade that fills the gap between a Mid-sized Explorer (MIDEX) and Flagship (Large) mission. The report specifically recommends that a cadence of one probe mission per decade with a cost cap of $1.5 billion balances scientific scope with timeliness. NASA has followed this recommendation and opened a call for Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) proposals, restricted to either a far-infrared or an X-ray mission, due in Fall 2023 with a planned launch date in no later than 2032. In response to this call, the High-Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P) concept has been developed as a partnership between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), with international partnership from the Italian Space Agency (ASI; Italy), the German Space Agency (DLR), and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE; Germany). HEX-P is a mission concept that offers sensitive broad-band coverage from soft to hard X-rays (0.2 − 80 keV), with an exceptional combination of spectral, timing, and angular capabilities. It features two high-energy telescopes (HETs) that focus hard X-rays, and one low-energy telescope (LET) that focuses lower energy X-rays, building upon the heritage of previous successful missions such as XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. With this leap in observational capability, HEX-P will be capable of addressing fundamental questions about the extreme environments around black holes and neutron stars, map the growth of supermassive black holes, and quantify the effect they have on their environments. HEX-P will resolve the hard X-ray emission from dense regions of our Galaxy to understand the high-energy source populations and investigate dark matter candidate particles through their decay channel signatures. In this Frontiers Research Topic we present a collection of papers which delve into some of the most exciting scientific questions that can be addressed with a mission like HEX-P. The papers have been prepared by members of the HEX-P collaboration, which is organized into four main scientific pillars: • Black Hole Growth • Accretion Power • Stellar Evolution • Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astronomy The individual papers cover a range of topics, including: • The cosmic X-ray background • Seyfert galaxies, Compton-thick active galaxies, and blazars • Black hole binaries, neutron stars, magnetars, ultraluminous X-ray sources, and tidal disruption events • The physics of the X-ray corona • X-ray populations in nearby galaxies • Supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and nuclear astrophysics • Galactic PeVatrons, star clusters, superbubbles, microquasar jets, and gamma-ray binaries • The Galactic Center • Supermassive black spin measurements and dual active galaxies • Pulsar Timing, electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources and transient phenomena The main goal of this Research Topic is to present detailed modeling and simulations for a range of HEX-P science cases in order to demonstrate the capabilities of HEX-P in serving the astrophysics community in the next decade. The members of the HEX-P mission are welcome to present Original Research papers, as well as any other kind of article types that fit their manuscript. Please, have a look at here to choose the appropriate article type to submit to this collection. This Research Topic is organized by the researchers of the HEX-P mission. Authors and Guest Editors belong to the same consortium. Furthermore, Dr. Daniel Stern and Dr. Javier Garcia are the Principal Investigator and the Project Scientist of the mission respectively. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by researchers external to the collaboration. |

| astrophysics simulation software: Highlights of Spanish Astrophysics V Jose M. Diego, LuisJ. Goicoechea, J. Ignacio González-Serrano, Javier Gorgas, 2010-03-18 Astronomy is a scienti?c discipline that has developed a rapid and impressive growth in Spain. Thirty years ago, Spain occupied a purely anecdotal presence in the international context, but today it occupies the eighth position in the world in publication of astronomical articles, and, among other successes, owns and op- ates ninety per cent of the world’s largest optical telescope GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias). The Eighth Scienti?c Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (Sociedad Espanol ̃ a de Astronom ́ a, SEA), held in Santander in July 7–11 2008, whose p- ceedings are in your hands, clearly shows the enthusiasm, motivation and quality of the present Spanish astronomical community. The event brought together 322 participants, who represent almost 50% of Spanish professional astronomers. This percentage, together with the continuously increasing, with respect to previous SEA meetings, number of oral presentations and poster contributions (179 and 127 respectively), con?rms that the SEA conferences have become a point of reference to assess the interests and achievements of astrophysical research in Spain. The most important and current topics of modern Astrophysics were taken into accountat thepreliminarymeeting,aswell as the numberandqualityofparticipants and their contributions, to select the invited speakers and oral contributors. We took a week to enjoy the high quality contributions submitted by Spanish astronomers to the Scienti?c Organizing Committee. The selection was dif?cult. We wish to acknowledge the gentle advice and commitment of the SOC members. |

| astrophysics simulation software: Exascale Scientific Applications Tjerk P. Straatsma, Katerina B. Antypas, Timothy J. Williams, 2017-11-13 From the Foreword: The authors of the chapters in this book are the pioneers who will explore the exascale frontier. The path forward will not be easy... These authors, along with their colleagues who will produce these powerful computer systems will, with dedication and determination, overcome the scalability problem, discover the new algorithms needed to achieve exascale performance for the broad range of applications that they represent, and create the new tools needed to support the development of scalable and portable science and engineering applications. Although the focus is on exascale computers, the benefits will permeate all of science and engineering because the technologies developed for the exascale computers of tomorrow will also power the petascale servers and terascale workstations of tomorrow. These affordable computing capabilities will empower scientists and engineers everywhere. — Thom H. Dunning, Jr., Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA This comprehensive summary of applications targeting Exascale at the three DoE labs is a must read. — Rio Yokota, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan Numerical simulation is now a need in many fields of science, technology, and industry. The complexity of the simulated systems coupled with the massive use of data makes HPC essential to move towards predictive simulations. Advances in computer architecture have so far permitted scientific advances, but at the cost of continually adapting algorithms and applications. The next technological breakthroughs force us to rethink the applications by taking energy consumption into account. These profound modifications require not only anticipation and sharing but also a paradigm shift in application design to ensure the sustainability of developments by guaranteeing a certain independence of the applications to the profound modifications of the architectures: it is the passage from optimal performance to the portability of performance. It is the challenge of this book to demonstrate by example the approach that one can adopt for the development of applications offering performance portability in spite of the profound changes of the computing architectures. — Christophe Calvin, CEA, Fundamental Research Division, Saclay, France Three editors, one from each of the High Performance Computer Centers at Lawrence Berkeley, Argonne, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, have compiled a very useful set of chapters aimed at describing software developments for the next generation exa-scale computers. Such a book is needed for scientists and engineers to see where the field is going and how they will be able to exploit such architectures for their own work. The book will also benefit students as it provides insights into how to develop software for such computer architectures. Overall, this book fills an important need in showing how to design and implement algorithms for exa-scale architectures which are heterogeneous and have unique memory systems. The book discusses issues with developing user codes for these architectures and how to address these issues including actual coding examples.’ — Dr. David A. Dixon, Robert Ramsay Chair, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA |
| astrophysics simulation software: Open Source Software Policy Options for NASA Earth and Space Sciences National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Space Studies Board, Committee on Best Practices for a Future Open Code Policy for NASA Space Science, 2019-01-27 Modern science is ever more driven by computations and simulations. In particular, the state of the art in space and Earth science often arises from complex simulations of climate, space weather, and astronomical phenomena. At the same time, scientific work requires data processing, presentation, and analysis through broadly available proprietary and community software.1 Implicitly or explicitly, software is central to science. Scientific discovery, understanding, validation, and interpretation are all enhanced by access to the source code of the software used by scientists. This report investigates and recommends options for NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) as it considers how to establish a policy regarding open source software to complement its existing policy on open data. In particular, the report reviews existing data and software policies and the lessons learned from the implementation of those policies, summarizes community perspectives, and presents policy options and recommendations for implementing an open source software policy for NASA SMD. |

| astrophysics simulation software: Astrophysics with Radioactive Isotopes Roland Diehl, Dieter H. Hartmann, Nikos Prantzos, 2018-10-11 Dealing with astrophysics derived from the radiation emitted by radioactive atomic nuclei, this book describes the different methods used to measure cosmic radio-isotopes. It demonstrates how this astronomical window has contributed to the understanding of the sources and the chemical evolution of cosmic gas. Reference materials and explanations are included for students in advanced stages of their education. Nuclear reactions in different sites across the universe lead to the production of stable and unstable nuclei. Their abundances can be measured through different methods, allowing to study the various nuclear processes taking place in cosmic environments. Nucleosynthesis is the cosmic formation of new nuclear species, starting from hydrogen and helium resulting from the big bang origins. Stars create and eject synthesized nuclei during their evolution and explosions. Incorporation of the new interstellar composition into next-generation stars characterises the compositional (chemical) evolution of cosmic gas in and between galaxies. Radioactive species have unique messages about how this occurs. Since the first Edition of this book published in 2011 with the title Astronomy with Radioactivities, long-awaited new direct observations of supernova radioactivity have been made and are now addressed in two updated chapters dealing with supernovae. In this second Edition, the advances of recent years beyond one-dimensional treatments of stellar structure and stellar explosions towards 3-dimensional models have been included, and led to significant re-writings in Chapters 3-5. The sections on the Solar System origins have been re-written to account for new insights into the evolution of giant molecular clouds. The chapter on diffuse radioactivities now also includes material measurements of radioactivities in the current solar system, and their interpretations for recent nucleosynthesis activity in our Galaxy. Significant new results on gamma-rays from positron annihilations have been accounted for in that chapter, and led to new links with nucleosynthesis sources as well as interstellar transport processes. A new chapter now provides a description of interstellar processes often called 'chemical evolution', thus linking the creation of new nuclei to their abundance observations in gas and stars. The experimental / instrumental chapters on nuclear reaction measurements, on gamma-ray telescopes, and pre-solar grain laboratories have been updated. Moreover, new windows of astronomy that have been opened up in recent years have been included in the discussions of the multi-messenger approach that broadens the basis for astrophysical insights. |
| astrophysics simulation software: Computer Simulation, Rhetoric, and the Scientific Imagination Aimee Kendall Roundtree, 2013-12-11 Computer simulations help advance climatology, astrophysics, and other scientific disciplines. They are also at the crux of several high-profile cases of science in the news. How do simulation scientists, with little or no direct observations, make decisions about what to represent? What is the nature of simulated evidence, and how do we evaluate its strength? Aimee Kendall Roundtree suggests answers in Computer Simulation, Rhetoric, and the Scientific Imagination. She interprets simulations in the sciences by uncovering the argumentative strategies that underpin the production and dissemination of simulated findings. She also explains how subjective and social influences do not diminish simulations’ virtue or power to represent the real thing. Along the way, Roundtree situates computer simulations within the scientific imagination alongside paradoxes, thought experiments, and metaphors. A cogent rhetorical analysis, Computer Simulation, Rhetoric, and the Scientific Imagination engages scholars of the rhetoric of science, technology, and new and digital media, but it is also accessible to the general public interested in debates over hurricane preparedness and climate change. |
