| Abstract Note | These are the proceedings of international conference on Numerical As?? trophysics 1998 (NAP98), held at National Olympic Memorial Youth Cen?? ter, in Tokyo, Japan in the period of March 10 - 13, 1998, and hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory, Japan (NAOJ). In the last decade numerical simulations have grown up as a major tool for astrophysics. Numerical simulations give us invaluable informa?? tion on complex systems and physical processes under extreme conditions which can be neither realized by experiments nor directly observed. Super?? computers and special purpose computers may work as very large telescopes and special purpose telescopes for theoretical astrophysics, respectively. Nu?? merical astrophysics ranks with other tool-oriented astronomy such as ra?? dio astronomy, infrared astronomy, ultraviolet astronomy, X-ray astronomy, and ')'-ray astronomy. This conference, NAP98, was planned to explore recent advances in astrophysics aided by numerical simulations. The subjects of the confer?? ence included the large-scale structure formation, galaxy formation and evolution, star and planets formation, accretion disks, jets, gravitational wave emission, and plasma physics. NAP98 had also sessions on numerical methods and computer science. The conference was attended by 184 sci?? entists from 21 countries. We enjoyed excellent talks, posters, videos, and discussions: there are 40 oral presentations, 96 posters and 16 video pre?? sentations. We hope that these proceedings and accompanying CD-ROM replay the friendly but inspiring atmosphere of the conference |
