Associate Prof. Takayuki Saitoh (Kobe University) and his collaborators Junichi Baba (Kagoshima University) and Takuji Tsujimoto (NAOJ) conducted numerical simulations to study the Sun's motion and environmental changes. Their simulations showed that the Sun was born 4.6 billion years ago in the inner regions of the Milky Way galaxy and migrated from this hazardous zone of frequent supernovae and gamma-ray bursts to its current safer location in the outer regions.

- 2024-07-02 In the HPCI Software Award 2024, the group of Prof. Makino received the excellent award for the development of FDPS (Framework for Developing Particle Simulators) and the group of Associate Prof. Saitoh received the encouragement award for the development of ASURA+BRIDGE.(Japanese page only)
- 2024-05-31 Associate Prof. Takayuki Saitoh (Kobe University) and collaborators Michiko Fujii (University Tokyo), Long Wang (Sun Yat-Sen University), Ataru Tanikawa (Fukui Prefectural University) and Yutaka Hirai (Tohoku University) conducted star cluster formation simulations that resolve individual stars. These simulations reveal that supermassive stars form in the clusters through stellar collisions and then they evolve into intermediate-mass black holes.
