Sverre Arseth was a legend in stellar dynamics. I never met him, unfortunately, but he was the PhD supervisor of my PhD supervisor's PhD supervisor

Damn, Sverre Aarseth (dynamists and developer of the NBODY series of codes for almost 60 years) passed away a couple of weeks ago. He is an absolute legend in the field, developing and publicly releasing software long before the concept of "open source" existed (paraphrasing Simon Portegies Zwart).
