New Method to Estimate Magnetic Field of Distant Exoplanet

Scientists developed a new method which allows to estimate the magnetic field of a distant exoplanet, i.e., a planet, which is located outside the Solar system and orbits a different star. Moreover, they managed to estimate the value of the magnetic moment of the planet HD 209458b.

Researchers Demonstrate More Robust Technique for Approximate Quantum Dynamics

The most widely used approximate techniques to simulate quantum dynamical effecst for atomic nuclei (CMD and RPMD) exhibit major artefacts when simulating vibrational spectra of molecular compounds, particularly at low temperature. Recent methodological advances make it possible to fix these problems, extending the range of applicability of these simulations.

Upgraded ATERUI Further Helps Understand the Universe and Astrophysical Phenomena

The Center for Computational Astrophysics (CfCA) of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan upgraded the supercomputer Cray XC30 system “ATERUI”. By introducing state-of-the-art CPUs, the theoretical peak performance increased from 502 Tflops to 1.058 Pflops, which means that ATERUI made the leap to become a petaflops computer. The new ATERUI will expand the horizons for simulations to understand the Universe and astrophysical phenomena.
