Supervirial Simulations

20 supervirial (region is expanding) simulations of 1000 stars with an initial fractal dimension of 1.6, meaning the initial distribution of stars is clumpy.

Originally used in Blaylock-Squibbs & Parker (2024) 'The dynamical evolution of star-forming regions measured with INDICATE'.

The simulations are run using the kira integrator which is part of starlab: https://www.sns.ias.edu/~starlab/index.html

The simulations are purely dynamical with no stellar evolution. We do not simulate the gas potential the stars would be embedded in, nor do we simulate the galactic tidal field. The simulations show 10 Myr of purely dynamic evolution.
