This article reviews Michel Henon's contributions to a diverse set of problems in astrophysical dynamics, including violent relaxation, Saturn's rings, roundoff error in orbit integrations, and planet formation.
Paper in honour of Michel Henon, based on a talk presented at Institut Henri Poincare, Paris, 5 Decembre 2013.
The talk consisted mainly in commenting in a linear way the seminal paper in 1964 by Michel Henon and graduate student Carl Heiles at Princeton University: "The applicability of the third integral of motion: Some numerical experiments" in…
Fifteen years after the discovery of dynamical friction by Chandrasekhar, Michel Henon attempts to solve the longstanding problem of the divergence of the friction suffered by the perturber and caused by the most distant cluster stars. His…
Several chapters in this book present various aspects of Michel Henon's scientific acheivements that spread over a large range of subjects, and yet managed to make deep contributions to most of them. The authors of these chapters make a…
In this contribution to the volume in memoriam of Michel Henon, we thought appropriate to look at his early scientific work devoted to the dynamics of large assemblies of interacting masses. He predicted in his PhD thesis that, in such a…
I review and discuss the contributions of Aron Bernstein to the field of chiral dynamics.
In this chapter we briefly review the basics of the theory of stellar evolution.
A brief review on the dynamical systems approach to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and chaotic dynamics
A variation of Newton's method of mapping Kepler's orbits into orbits in the simple harmonic oscillator is shown to give Henon's Isochrone. The statistical mechanics of a micro-canonical ensemble of isochrone oscillators shows that the…
This paper is an English translation of Michel H\'enon's thesis, "Sur l'\'evolution dynamique des amas globulaires" originally published in French in the Annales d'Astrophysique, Vol. 24, p.369 (1961).
1) Rotation Curves and M/L Evolution for Galaxies to z=0.4, (Bershady, Haynes, Giovanelli, & Andersen) 2) Mass Estimates of Starbursting Galaxies: Line Widths versus Near-IR Luminosities (Jangren, Bershady, & Gronwall) 3) Galaxy Kinematics…
Einstein's contributions to statistical mechanics and quantum theory are reviewed. We also provide a detailed discussion of his thesis on suspensions that led to a good value of the Avogadro number.
The symposium has shown the dynamism of this rapidly evolving discipline. I shall concentrate here on some highlights and some complementary informations. I conclude on open questions with some perspectives on solar & stellar activity and…
In this introductory chapter of the Special Issue entitled `The Structure and Evolution of Stars', we highlight the recent major progress made in our understanding in the physics that governs stellar interiors. In so doing, we combine…
The recent observational, theoretical, and numerical progress made in understanding stellar magnetism is discussed. Particularly, this review will cover the physical processes thought to be at the origin of these magnetic fields and their…
Numerical aspects of dynamos in periodic domains are discussed. Modifications of the solutions by numerically motivated alterations of the equations are being reviewed using the examples of magnetic hyperdiffusion and artificial diffusion…
I provide a very brief sketch of some of Dirac's interests and work in gravity, particularly his Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein's theory and its relation to his earlier research.
In this expository paper, we provide the readers with an overview of Dennis Sullivan's major contributions to the area of Dynamical Systems.
Stellar dynamics is almost unreasonably well suited for an implementation in terms of special-purpose hardware. Unlike the case of molecular dynamics, stellar dynamics deals exclusively with a long-range force, gravity, which leads to a…
