Formation of Globular Clusters, by Christian Theis
SPIRALs formed in the Protolunar Disks (evolution of protolunar disk after giant impact), by Takaaki Takeda (captions are in Japanese, but you can try hyperlinks there)
2 examples of N-body simulations (`groups of galaxies' and `formation of rings in ring galaxies'), simulated at Observatoire de Marseille
Nikkei-SGI Award Winning The Origin of the Moon, by Eiichiro Kokubo
Forming Galaxies, by Matthias Steinmetz
Star Clusters, by S. F. Portegies Zwart
Most fancy movie of star clusters ever made and its description
Disk & Satellite Galaxies (about 7 M Byte)
Disk & Satellite Galaxies (Face-on) (about 9 M Byte)
Two Disk Galaxies (Antenna Galaxy) (about 3 M Byte), by P. Frisch
Collision of two stars modelled with 16k-particle SPH calculation. Each star is n=1.5 polytrope. The relative orbit is parabolic. (Jan 4, 1999)
Evolution of a BH pair in a spherical galaxy with 64k particles. BH mass is 1% of the total mass of the galaxy. Initial galaxy model is a Plummer model.
Gravothermal Oscillation with 32k particles. The x-axis is log radius. The white curve is the log number density and the red curve is log temperature. The system of units is Heggie units. Each frames are running average over 80 snapshots. Sampling period is 0.5 time unit (in late phases 0.125).
