Warm/Cold Dark Matter

These movies show the dark matter, gas and stellar distribution in a warm dark matter simulation and its corresponding cold dark matter simulation (Box 64 – 186592 – WDM and  Box 64 – 186592 , 4096^3 resimulation, Local Group).

	Evolution of the gas density in the Local Group ( CDM , 4096^3 resimulation, Box 64 – 186592), from z=41 to z=0. Centered roughly on M31. (K. Riebe; PMViewer) [avi, 800×800, 12 MB]
	Evolution of the gas density in the Local Group ( WDM , 4096^3 resimulation, Box 64 – 186592 – WDM), from z=41 to z=0. Same as above, i.e. same color table, same density range, same camera distance (about 3.3 Mpc/h). Centered roughly on M31, yet not showing exactly the same section of the universe as movie above. (K. Riebe; PMViewer) [avi, 800×800, 11 MB]
	Evolution of the gas density in the Local Group for CDM (left) and WDM (right), 4096^3 resimulation, from z=41 to z=0. Both show roughly the region of the Local Group, though not exactly the same. The camera distance is in both cases 3.3 Mpc/h, the same color table and density scale was used. (K.

	Evolution of the stellar density in the Local Group, WDM . Camera distance is again about 3.3 Mpc/h, centered roughly on M31. Only every second snapshot was used to generate a quick movie. (K. Riebe; PMViewer) [avi, 800×800, 1.1 MB] [jpg, 800×800, 26 KB]

	Evolution of M33, dark matter density, CDM, camera distance is 190 kpc. Oriented such, that the gas disk (if it was shown here) would be face-on at z=0 (same orientation as corresponding gas/stars movies above/below). The image shows a region of about 200 kpc/h around the center (see image below for the scale). (K.
