SIBELIUS-DARK: A cosmological simulation of the Local Universe Stu McAlpine 2022-02-09 | SIBELIUS-DARK is a cosmological simulation of the Local Universe, presented in McAlpine et al. 2022.It was specially trained to reproduce the structures of the Local Universe. For example, in the video we see the Perseus Galaxy Cluster, one our most massive neighbours.SIBELIUS-DARK is part of the “Simulations Beyond the Local Universe” (SIBELIUS) project, and is the largest and most comprehensive ‘constrained realisation’ simulation to date. It covers a volume up to a distance 600 million lightyears from Earth and is represented by over 130 billion simulated ‘particles’, requiring many thousands of computers working in tandem over several weeks and producing over 1 Petabyte of data. It was performed on the DiRAC COSmology MAchine (COSMA) operated by the Institute for Computational Cosmology of Durham University. Press release available at http://smcalpine.com/sibelius-dark

The EAGLE simulation: two galaxies dark matter evolution Stu McAlpine 2022-01-10 | Two simulated massive galaxy clusters evolving through cosmic time.Video shows the dark matter, or non-baryonic, component, the underlying skeletal structure that holds galaxies together.The simulation shown is the EAGLE simulation, icc.dur.ac.uk/Eagle.
The EAGLE simulation: two galaxies gas evolution Stu McAlpine 2022-01-10 | Two simulated massive galaxy clusters evolving through cosmic time.Video shows the "ordinary", or baryonic, component (the gas), coloured by its temperature.The simulation shown is the EAGLE simulation, icc.dur.ac.uk/Eagle.
The EAGLE simulation: gas and dark matter composite Stu McAlpine 2022-01-10 | Two simulated massive galaxy clusters evolving through cosmic time.Video shows a composite look at the "ordinary", or baryonic, component (the gas) and the underlying dark matter, or non-baryonic, component (which is invisible in the real Universe).The simulation shown is the EAGLE simulation, icc.dur.ac.uk/Eagle.
