TSUNAMI: A modern regularized code for planetary and black hole dynamics

  • 1. The University of Tokyo

Description

I present TSUNAMI, a fast and accurate few-body code designed to follow the evolution of self-gravitating systems. The integrator is based on Mikkola & Tanikawa's algorithmic regularization and can easily handle close encounters, highly hierarchical systems, and extreme mass ratios. TSUNAMI includes post-Newtonian corrections and treatment for the equilibrium and dynamical tides, and it is thus suited to follow the evolution of planetary systems and systems of compact remnants. The code implements modern features such as a Python interface and support for other integrators (e.g. from the REBOUND package). I will present a suite of applications for TSUNAMI, ranging from planetary dynamics in multiple systems to encounters around supermassive black holes.
