The Symphony Simulation Suite

The Symphony simulation suite is a publicly-accessible collection of 262 simulated dark matter halos, the massive dark matter structures that all galaxies grow within. These halos span a wide range of sizes: the smallest would be home to dwarf galaxies similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud, while the largest would be host massive galaxy clusters, containing hundreds of Milky Way-like galaxies.

This website contains information on these simulations, the people who ran them, how to access the data, and how to interact with the data. For students, we also have a page containing lecture notes, slides, and review papers that might be helpful to understand the jargon and concepts involved with analyzing these types of simulations.
