Description

Gaia data provide a detailed snapshot of the local structure of our Galaxy. However, to understand the global dynamical structure of the Milky Way and its time evolution, it is essential to compare observation data with theoretical models. In this context, I have been using high-resolution N-body simulations as theoretical counterparts of the Milky Way. Recent advances in GPU computing enable simulations with billions of particles. In this short talk, I will briefly introduce our previous studies on disc dynamics using both isolated and perturbed N-body simulations, demonstrating the potential of high-resolution N-body simulations.
