We describe AMUSE, the Astrophysical Multipurpose Software Environment, a programming framework designed to manage multi-scale, multi-physics simulations in a hierarchical, extensible, and internally consistent way. Constructed as a collection of individual modules, AMUSE allows computational tools for different physical domains to be easily combined into a single task. It facilitates the coupling of modules written in different languages by providing inter-language tools and a standard programming interface that represents a balance between generality and computational efficiency. The framework currently incorporates the domains of stellar dynamics, stellar evolution, gas dynamics, and radiative transfer. We present some applications of the framework and outline plans for future development of the package.

  1. Dynamical evolution and dissolution timescale of young stellar clusters in the Orion star-forming complex

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gaia-derived parameters for 13 Orion clusters fed into N-body simulations reveal two regimes: seven with α_vir ≲ 7 retain bound cores for ≳170 Myr while six with α_vir ≳ 7 dissolve before 120 Myr.

  2. Oort Cloud Ecology -- IV. Exchanging Asteroids

    astro-ph.EP 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sub-virial fractal star clusters produce more captured asteroids, rogue objects, and high-eccentricity/inclination bodies than virialised Plummer clusters, but Oort Cloud formation is suppressed in both.

  3. Oort Cloud Ecology -- IV. Exchanging Asteroids

    astro-ph.EP 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    N-body simulations show sub-virial fractal star clusters produce more captured asteroids and rogue objects than virialised Plummer clusters, while neither efficiently forms an Oort Cloud.
