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 ...

"Cosmological simulations need to cover a large volume for cosmological studies, while also requiring high resolution to resolve the small-scale galaxy formation physics, which would incur ...

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

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 ...

“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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

It shows how dark matter interacts with the visible universe through its gravitational effects, and how it contributes to the formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters.

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 ...
