Clusters of Galaxies: New Results from the CLEF Hydrodynamics Simulation
arXiv:astro-ph/0411650 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2004.11.034
Abstract
Preliminary results are presented from the CLEF hydrodynamics simulation, a large (N=2(428)^3 particles within a 200 Mpc/h comoving box) simulation of the LCDM cosmology that includes both radiative cooling and a simple model for galactic feedback. Specifically, we focus on the X-ray properties of the simulated clusters at z=0 and demonstrate a reasonable level of agreement between simulated and observed cluster scaling relations.
