abstract:
SIMBA is a state-of-the-art cosmological simulation aimed at understanding the simultaneous evolution of galaxies, black holes, and intergalactic gas. One of the key advancements of SIMBA over previous simulation attempts is the replacement of „phenomenological” models with large-volume simulations that incorporate dust and gas physics. The flagship run encompasses a 100 Mpc/h box and consists of two billion particles. In this poster, my focus will be on the visualization of this enormous dataset. What does SIMBA look like on different scales? How can we effectively visualize its time evolution? Let’s delve into these questions and discover the answers!
