Have you ever wondered how astronomers simulate the large-scale structure of the universe? How do they answer questions like, ‘What will #JWST show us?’ or ‘What can we expect to learn from #WFIRST ?’
The Space Telescope Science Institute is hosting a mini-workshop this week featuring techniques for simulating the universe where they delve into these questions and many more.
This workshop will focus on the interface of models and survey design: how can we best inject and extract astrophysical insight into and from data simulations?
One of the main aims is to identify common ground between various ongoing data simulation efforts associated with diverse facilities on the ground and in space (e.g., ELTs, JWST, LSST, PanSTARRS, WFIRST, ALMA, Euclid etc.).
Please join +Tony Darnell Dr +Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis as they discuss simulating the universe with astronomers +Molly Peeples and Joshua Peek. We look forward to hearing your comments and questions as well!
