The REBOUND meeting is about to happen:
hannorein.github.io/rebound24/
“will be a fully remote two-day meeting on the N-body integrator REBOUND, a software package that can integrate the motion of particles under the influence of gravity”. The entire field of dynamical astronomy runs on, pretty much, faster computers and better dynamics code. If you’ve been living in the modern world lately, you’ve noticed that fast computers, and code experts, are, pretty much, running the economy. Fewer and fewer lines of astronomy are untouched by numerical attack, whether fully human (analytic) or not (AI/ML), or mixed. Some relevant talks next week:
