Shown a visualizations of from Magneticum Pathfinder simulations. The left panel shows the largest volume simulation, done with low resolution. The middle column shows a smaller volume (the size corresponds to the dashed square in the left panel) done with much higher resolution. The increased level of detail can be best appreciated by exploring the zoom onto a galaxy cluster forming in the high resolution simulation (right panel). Visualized is the gas which fills the space between the galaxies (color coded according to its temperature from cold/brown to hot/light blue) together with the galaxies and stars forming in the simulation (colored in white). The lower images offer an interactive zoom and panning through high resolution versions of these visualizations. The GAUSS-Project Magneticum aims to combine for the first time such simulations and to simulate a very large volume of the universe with very high resolution.
