How Can I Simulate a Star Collision on a Computer?

AI Thread Summary
To simulate a star collision on a computer, one can refer to a recent article in Scientific American that discusses relevant research. The complexity of the simulation depends on the desired level of detail and accuracy. For basic simulations, a simple model of one star colliding with another can suffice. Specifics about the Scientific American article, such as its title and issue number, were requested for further information. Exploring these resources can provide valuable insights into the simulation process.

Anyone here knows how to simulate a star collision using computer ?

Thank you,
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
A recent issue of Scientific American had an article by some folk who've done quite a bit of work doing just that! I don't have the edition to hand (nor am I able to check it on the internet); you could go to their website and see for yourself perhaps?

As to doing it yourself on your own PC, it all depends on the level of detail and accuracy that you want to attain :eek: Can you be a bit more specific please?
 
No, nothing special, just A hits B and bummm, that's all
Can you tell me about that SA article ? (title, sereynumbers, etc)

thank you very much,
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
