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."
