Numerical simulations of binary star formation

Binary star formation is the dominant mode of star formation, in contrast to the traditional picture of single star formation. The work in this thesis investigates the properties of binary stars with the aid of numerical simulations, using N-body and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics codes. First, we...
