We conducted our cosmological hydrodynamic galaxy formation simulations using the new hydrodynamic code GIZMO 12, which includes a model for the impact of stellar radiative and thermal pressure on ...

Wetzel and his colleagues’ model uses cosmological simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, which aims to “develop and explore cosmological simulations of galaxy ...

Dark matter The AGORA project will explore the fundamental astrophysics of galaxy formation in the cosmological context of a “cold dark matter” universe. Although the nature of dark matter remains a ...

Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself.

Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself.

After 9 months of number crunching on a powerful supercomputer, a beautiful spiral galaxy matching our own Milky Way emerged from a computer simulation of the physics involved in galaxy formation ...

"Star formation in real galaxies occurs in a clustered fashion, and to reproduce that out of a cosmological simulation is hard," Madau said.

Scientists are creating computer simulations to better understand the physics of black holes and the role they play in galaxy formation.

A lot of physics goes into the code--gravity and hydrodynamics, star formation and supernova explosions--and this is the highest resolution cosmological simulation ever done this way," said Guedes ...

“Star formation in real galaxies occurs in a clustered fashion, and to reproduce that out of a cosmological simulation is hard,” Madau said. “This is the first simulation that is able to resolve the ...
