Cluster Video Gallery

Below are videos showing the evolution of the largest cluster of galaxies in the L050m6 (thermal AGN feedback) and L050m6h (hybrid AGN feedback) simulations. This object has a present-day virial mass of 10^14.2 M_⊙. The central galaxy has a stellar mass of 10^11.6 M_⊙ and a supermassive black hole with a mass of 10^9.6 M_⊙. The scale bar indicates a length of 100 physical kiloparsec (pkpc), which is about 300 thousand lightyears.
