abstract

We have developed a gravity solver based on combining the well developed Particle-Mesh (PM) method and TREE methods. It is designed for and has been implemented on parallel computer architectures. The new code can deal with tens of millions of particles on current computers, with the calculation done on a parallel supercomputer or a group of workstations. Typically, the spatial resolution is enhanced by more than a factor of 20 over the pure PM code with mass resolution retained at nearly the PM level. This code runs much faster than a pure TREE code with the same number of particles and maintains almost the same resolution in high density regions. Multiple time step integration has also been implemented with the code, with second order time accuracy. The performance of the code has been checked in several kinds of parallel computer configuration, including IBM SP1, SGI Challenge and a group of workstations, with the speedup of the parallel code on a 32 processor IBM SP2 supercomputer nearly linear (efficiency $\approx 80\%$) in the number of processors. The computation/communication ratio is also very high ($\sim 50$), which means the code spends $95\%$ of its CPU time in computation.

  1. RABBITS IV: Stellar feedback and SMBH merging time-scales in the sub-Milky Way mass regime

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Stronger stellar feedback lowers central stellar densities in low-mass merger remnants and systematically lengthens SMBH merger delays, yielding a 30–500 Myr spread in post-hardening coalescence times.

  2. Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In z≈6 quasar simulations, super-Eddington black-hole growth clears escape channels, ejects cold clumps that raise neutral-hydrogen covering, and powers extended Hα nebulae that shrink when the quasar is obscured.

  3. From Voids to Clusters: Mergers and Evolutionary Pathways of Star-Forming and Quenched Low-Mass Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using TNG300-1, the paper finds that low-mass quenched galaxies in voids undergo significantly more mini and minor mergers at late times than in clusters, and that mini mergers are the strongest enhancers of star form...

  4. Einstein-Vlasov Calculations of Structure Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Full Einstein-Vlasov simulations show Newtonian N-body collapse is faster than general relativity for extreme density perturbations, but accurate at subpercent level for standard cosmological amplitudes.

  5. Star-Forming vs. Quenched Galaxies in Voids: Insights into the Role of Mergers

    astro-ph.GA 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Quenched void galaxies formed earlier, reside in more massive dark matter halos, and experienced fewer recent mergers than star-forming void galaxies, explaining their low star formation at z < 0.5.
