Binary and multiple star dynamics and interactions
The student will process a database of sink-particle produced from 4pc^3 star cluster forming simulations to study how young binary and multiple stars evolve.

About
Most stars are born in multiple star systems that interact dynamically and disintegrate while accreting from their star-forming clouds.
This work builds on the treasure of sink particle data produced from Kuruwita & Haugbølle 2023 (10.1051/0004-6361/202244882) to further investigate:
1. The pathways for hardening binaries; and
2. Finding systems of interest to study in detail how the interactions between stars and the environment affect the accretion history of the stars.
