  1. When this post mastodon.social/@coreyspowell/ by @coreyspowell popped up in my feed just now my first thought was: «wait, I'm pretty sure I saw something similar at a recent #SPHERIC conference» so of course I checked the linked paper (<nature.com/articles/s41561-024>) and lo and behold, they do use #SPH #SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics

    However, I had a feeling it wasn't exactly the same, and by digging deeper in my memory, I realized that indeed what I had seen wasn't (a preview of) this work, but a #SPHERIC2019 contribution about simulating impacts on planetary giants with #SWIFT (a well-known SPH code for #astrophysics, the field SPH was originally designed for, available from <swiftsim.com>) with Uranus as a test case. You can read the full article here:
    doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz1606
    and see a high-resolution animation of the Uranus impact, as well as other simulations, at icc.dur.ac.uk/giant_impacts/

  2. #SPHERIC2025 will be in #Barcelona
    spheric2025.upc.edu/

    It will be the first #SPHERIC #conference to break from the "classic" SPHERIC International Workshop format that was also employed for the SPHERIC 2022 I organized in Catania, and closer to other more traditional conferences (hence also the change in name, to SPHERIC World Conference).
