Arianna Di Cintio - Astrophysicist

CLUES Simulations

I am one of the Co-PIs of the Constrained Local Universe Simulations – CLUES: a set of cosmological simulations of our Local Group of galaxies with constrained initial conditions.
These are the ideal test bench to study galaxy formation in our local neighborhood.

Interests

Star Formation Evolution

These videos show the evolution of 2 star formation-enhanced satellite galaxies (IDs 17 and 795) and one unchanged/suppressed (ID 387), from the CLUES simulations. They are complementary material from Di Cintio et al. (2021) and were made with SPH-viewer (available on GitHub).
