| Galaxy Formation in the Early Universe Christopher Burns, Thomas Greif, Volker Bromm, and Ralf Klessen This is a visualization of a galaxy formation dataset, about 5 million particles simulated for 631 timesteps on Ranger. The scale is about 500 kpc across the computational domain. This simulation and corresponding visualizations will help answer questions about the formation of the early Universe, about 100 million years after the Big Bang. This research will help guide the observations of the James Webb Space Telescope, the replacement for the Hubble Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2013. |
