A new method to simulate vertical and horizontal structure in galactic disks
Abstract
We have modified the particles in an N-body treecode to have different softening lengths in the horizontal and vertical directions. This allows us to simultaneously have thin enough particles to resolve the vertical structure in galactic disks, and horizontally large enough particles to suppress the vertical heating due to two-body effects.
