Simulated galaxies resemble real ones
These images depict various stages of galaxy formation under the cold dark matter theory using new computer simulations that account for the effects of supernova explosions. “The cold dark matter theory works amazingly well at telling where, when, and how many galaxies should form,” says Fabio Governato. “What we did was find a better description of processes that we know happen in the real universe, resulting in more accurate simulations.”
WASHINGTON (US)—Using millions of hours on supercomputers, researchers have run simulations of galaxy formation and produced dwarf galaxies very much like those observed today by satellites and large telescopes around the world. Continue…
