SANTA CRUZ, CA–The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding ...

The Bolshoi* is a cosmological simulation of unprecedented scale and unparalleled accuracy. Crunching tons of observational input data necessary to build this enormous model took Pleiades, a ...

The background image shows the present-day distribution of matter in a slice through the largest FLAMINGO simulation, which is a cubic volume of 2.8 Gpc (9.1 billion light years) on a side. The ...

The research team is led by Carnegie Mellon University and includes scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany. The ...

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.

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 the ...

Ultra-massive black holes are the most massive objects in the universe. Their mass can reach millions and billions of solar masses. Supercomputer simulations on TACC’s Frontera supercomputer have ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of astronomers has carried out what is believed to be the largest ever cosmological computer simulation, tracking not only dark but also ordinary matter (such as ...
