The Three Hundred Project aims to exploit a large sample of simulated galaxy clusters and their environment modelled using a range of simulation packages and physics modules. In addition
to the standard post-processing analysis, mock observational maps are available mimicking X-ray, optical, gravitational
lensing, radio, and SZ observations. This dataset will be used to:
- Study the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters in relation to the underlying cosmological framework.
- Quantify the influence of baryonic physics via various sub-grid physics models, including both full physics cosmological simulations and semi-analytical galaxy formation models.
- Constrain the properties of the intra-cluster medium.
- Prepare derived data products mocking observations in various wave-bands (e.g. X-rays, optical, and also gravitational lensing signals, SZ maps, etc.).
- Study galaxy formation and evolution in a range of environments by supplementing our cluster dataset with field region simulations.
The collaboration is open to everyone with an interest in galaxy clusters and certainly not only limited to above mentioned science topics. Feel free to contribute with your interests to the collaboration.
