A Multi-Code Analysis Toolkit for Astrophysical Simulation Data
Matthew J. Turk, Britton D. Smith, Jeffrey S. Oishi +4
The analysis of complex multiphysics astrophysical simulations presents a unique and rapidly growing set of challenges: reproducibility, parallelization, and vast increases in data…
The Properties of X-ray Cold Fronts in a Statistical Sample of Simulated Galaxy Clusters
Eric J. Hallman, Samuel W. Skillman, Tesla E. Jeltema +4
We examine the incidence of cold fronts in a large sample of galaxy clusters extracted from a (512h^-1 Mpc) hydrodynamic/N-body cosmological simulation with adiabatic gas physics c…
Galaxy Cluster Radio Relics in Adaptive Mesh Refinement Cosmological Simulations: Relic Properties and Scaling Relationships
Samuel W. Skillman, Eric J. Hallman, Brian W. O'Shea +3
Cosmological shocks are a critical part of large-scale structure formation, and are responsible for heating the intracluster medium in galaxy clusters. In addition, they are also c…
Galaxy Clusters at the Edge: Temperature, Entropy, and Gas Dynamics at the Virial Radius
Jack O. Burns, Samuel W. Skillman, Brian W. O'Shea
Recently, Suzaku has produced temperature and entropy profiles, along with profiles of gas density, gas fraction, and mass, for multiple galaxy clusters out to ~r_200 (~= virial ra…
How well do cosmological simulations reproduce individual-halo properties?
M. Trenti, B. D. Smith, E. J. Hallman +2
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation often rely on prescriptions for star formation and feedback that depend on halo properties such as halo mass, central over-density, and…
