Description
Galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe, provide unique insights into both cosmology and astrophysics. Their formation and evolution are intrinsically linked to the underlying cosmological framework, making them critical tools for testing the ΛCDM model and studying the large-scale structure of the Universe. However, direct observational studies of galaxy clusters face inherent challenges, including projection effects and limited resolution.
Cosmological simulations play a vital role in addressing these challenges by enabling a detailed exploration of cluster dynamics, mass distribution, and the interplay between baryonic and dark matter components. In this talk, I will discuss the role of state-of-the-art N-body and hydrodynamic simulations in understanding the complex processes governing galaxy clusters. Using examples from simulations such as the Uchuu project, I will highlight how simulated data complements observations to refine our understanding of cluster properties, such as mass profiles, velocity anisotropy, and dynamical states.
