Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Frontiere, Katrin Heitmann, Esteban Rangel, Patricia Larsen, Adrian Pope | Summary: In this paper we introduce the Farpoint simulation, the latest member of the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) gravity-only simulation family. The domain covers a volume of (1000$h^{-1}$Mpc)$^3$ and evolves close to two trillion particles, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: The $rmLambda$CDM cosmological model is remarkable: with just 6 parameters it describes the evolution of the Universe from a very early time when all structures were quantum fluctuations on subatomic scales to the present, and it is consistent […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: I begin by briefly discussing the first two cosmological paradigms, the hot big-bang model and $Lambda$CDM. In discussing the third paradigm, I focus on the issues it must address, what its aspirations should be, and how it might […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: David Robinson, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: Cooling and heating functions describe how radiative processes impact the thermal state of the gas as a function of its temperature and other physical properties. In a most general case they depend on the detailed distributions […]
