HESTIA project gets computing time

The HESTIA (High-resolution Environmental Simulations of The Immediate Area), project – an effort to simulate a dozen Local groups in a constrained environment using the state-of-the-art AREPO hydrodynamic code, has received a large computing grant from the Leibniz Rechenzentrum (LRZ).The project will be carried out over the next 18 months (May 2017).

CLUES data at www.cosmosim.org

Some of the CLUES data is now publicly available via the CosmoSim database. This includes AHF halo catalogues from the Box 64, WMAP3 resimulations of the Local Group with 40963 particle resolution.

The CLUES simulation Box 64 – 186592, DM only, with 4096^3 particles, inspired Noam Libeskind and his father to create a stunning chandelier, see Fastcodesign – article or The Guardian. By mapping the dark matter distribution to LEDs it “mimics and reproduces the cosmic light that fills the Universe.”
