Heidelberg-based researchers have published data for the largest detailed simulation of the formation and evolution of massive galaxy clusters in the cosmos. The simulation uses a clever technique that allowed the researchers to obtain a sample of several hundred simulated massive clusters, with each cluster simulated in considerable detail. The simulation has already led to a number of insights into the physics of galaxy clusters. Now, its data is published in full, allowing other scientists to use this model universe for their research.
