Other Galaxies and Active Galaxies. This chapter covers: the characteristics of other normal galaxies, active galaxies, and finding distances to other galaxies (this includes the distance-scale ladder). Also, large-scale structure is covered (galaxy clusters and collisions and superclusters). Edwin Hubble (courtesy of OCIW. Astron...

Astronomy has long been a data-intensive science. Today, the need to analyze massive amounts of data streaming from telescopes and generated by simulations is more pressing than ever. AstroDB is an inter-disciplinary group bringing together faculty from the department of Astronomy. In particular the Survey Science Group. And the N-body Shop. Department of Computer Science and Engineering. In particular the Database Group. And the UW eScience Instititute. Research Scientists and Faculty. SDSS image data i...

This is James Wadsley's. Gallery of images of the astrophysical simulations we are running at McMaster University. Using the computing resources of the SHARCNET collaboration ( www.sharcnet.ca. Some simulations shown were run elsewhere. The software we are using is the parallel SPH tree-code "Gasoline" developed at the University of Washington, "N-body Shop". By James Wadsley, Joachim Stadel and Tom Quinn. This paper. Dwarf Galaxies and the Destruction of Dark Matter Cusps. As recently presented in.

Gasoline Parallel Tree-SPH code. Gasoline was developed within the University of Washington HPCC group. The main authors are James Wadsley, Joachim Stadel (Zurich) and Tom Quinn (Washington). The gasoline code is currently NOT public domain or otherwise generally available. Neither is the gravity code pkdgrav from which it was derived. We allow use of these codes outside the main coder group only as part of ongoing collaborations with the coders. HPCC University of Washington: Software Repository.
