Visualizing the life and anatomy of dark matter

Abstract

We provide a visualization based answer to understanding the evolution and structure of dark matter halos by addressing the tasks assigned in 2015 IEEE Scientific Visualization Contest. The data released this year is a Cosmological Simulation dataset generated from the Dark Sky Simulation experiments. Out of the assigned tasks we are addressing the following: data integration and browsing, halo identification and visualization and diving deep into halo substructure.
