Bolshoi

A high resolution slice of the 250 Mpc/h box of Bolshoi. (S. Gottlöber; IDL) jpg [3000×3000, 2.9 MB] png [3000×3000, 15 MB]

MDR1 – MultiDark Run 1

	Slice through the MultiDark simulation (MDR1) at redshift z = 0.53 (snapshot 62), different projections showing the density distribution. The slice is 5 Mpc/h thick, the side length is 1 Gpc/h (full box).

	Slice through the MultiDark simulation at redshift z = 0 (snapshot 84), projected along the x-direction to view the y-z density distribution. The slice is again 5 Mpc/h thick. (Stefan Gottlöber, IDL) eps [1.1 MB] png [800×800, 1.8 MB]

MDPL – Multidark Planck simulation

	Slice through the MultiDark Planck simulation (MDPL) at redshift z = 1 (snapshot 19), different projections showing the density distribution. The side length is 1 Gpc/h (full box).

MDPL2 – Multidark Planck 2 simulation

FOF-halos from a slice through the MultiDark Planck 2 simulation (MDPL2) at redshift z = 0 (snapshot 125), x-y-plane. The slice is about 4.9 Mpc/h thick and encloses the region of the most massive halo in this simulation. The image shows the distribution of FOF halos, the size of points was correlated with their mass, overlaying dots are emphasized by brighter color. The image was created using Topcat and the data from following query: select x,y,z, mass, size from MDPL2.FOF where snapnum=125 and iz between 981 and 985 In Topcat, make a plane plot, adjust Form to `mass`, Shading to density with color table Cold and move the scale slider below the coordinates up to the maximum. (Kristin Riebe, Topcat) including coordinate frame [png] without coordinate frame, cut [png]

These pictures show a slice through the simulation volume with about 1 Mpc/h thickness, top: 1 Gpc/h side-length, bottom: zoomed-in version. The blue-brown background indicates the underlying matter density; in the foreground tiny yellow dots represent the galaxies. Each of these galaxies is embedded in its own dark matter halo, visible in the zoomed image as circles with colors coding projected density and sizes scaling to the mass of each halo. The image was created using Topcat. (Kristin Riebe, Topcat) combined image [png]

SMDPL – Small Multidark Planck simulation
