Torch-SF

This website is still under construction. The quickstart notes are up to date.

Torch is an open-source code used to simulate coupled gas and N-body dynamics in astrophysical systems, primarily for simulating star cluster formation. Torch combines different codes via the AMUSE framework to model gas dynamics, formation of single and binary stars, stellar evolution and feedback, and collisional N-body dynamics.

Stable versions of torch live on the main branch. Ongoing development happens on the develop branch.
