What We Mean When We Talk About Computational Astrophysics
summary
The talk explains numerical astrophysics as a method to study galaxy formation and evolution using large compute clusters, addressing initial conditions, the role of dark matter, and what physical processes are included in simulation models. It discusses how simulations are set up and what physics they incorporate to model galaxy evolution.
