In 2015, after a century of speculation, the world finally identified the elusive waves in the texture of the universe known as gravitational waves. This happened when the LIGO experiment revealed that these intense, deep gravitational waves were ejected from the terrible collision of two massive black holes. Blackhole crushing may occur inside a beautiful object called a spherical cluster. A Snowdrop packed with hundreds of thousands of stars. Spherical clusters are believed to house tens to hundreds of black holes (with the highest concentration of these strange objects anywhere in the world). So spherical clusters could well be the main source of gravitational waves recorded by LIGO scientists. Studying these waves can teach us about the high density of star clusters and also illuminate the process of building galaxies, the largest star clusters in the universe.
The Dragon Simulation Project at NAOC (Silk Road Project) and MPA is the largest and most realistic direct N-body simulation of massive clusters to date in 2016. Efficient algorithms allow simulations to be performed on modern supercomputers for millions of stars. Including stellar evolution algorithms and binaries, these simulations offer unprecedented insights into the dynamic behavior of large star clusters. Dragon's second project from the Silk Road team is on its way, which will have amazing results for neutron stars as well! Maria Rah
