Visualising hydro simulations of galaxy clusters
As a first approach towards more comprehensive virtual telescope services, GAVO makes
available two services supplied by Klaus Dolag and coworkers for creating representations
of the results of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters.
The goal of this exercise is partly to investigate how a more realistic virtual telescope
could be exposed, but also already to enable researchers to extract information from simulations
that can be directly compared to the post-processed rewsults of X-Ray observations.
To that end a science project has started in which the results of the physical
visualisation are analysed in the same way as post-processed observations were in
Schuecker et al (2004).
