Abstract A new approach to numerical experiments with self-gravitating stellar dynamical systems is described that permits enough bodies to be included to make the problem interesting. The forces are obtained by solving the Poisson equation at each integration step. The method incorporates the essential physical features of collision-free systems exactly and appears to be adaptable to a wide class of initial value or self-consistency problems. Stellar systems of 120000 particles have been followed; preliminary results are given Publication: The Astrophysical Journal Pub Date: February 1968 DOI: 10.1086/149469 Bibcode: 1968ApJ...151..699M full text sources ADS |
