Dr. Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, postdoctoral researcher at the Flatiron Institute, USA, and Yuka Kaneda, a master student from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, talk about an exciting way of studying our Universe - using computer simulations. They explain why we need cosmological simulations, how to reproduce the universe in a computer, which forces need to be taken into account, what we can learn from these simulations and which challenges still remain.
This is the fourth video in a series of interviews that were recorded with experts during the AIP organized IAU Symposium "Dynamical Masses of Local Group Galaxies" in Potsdam in 2023. The videos were produced by Jamie K. Kanehisa and Mariana P. Júlio, both PhD students in the "Dwarf galaxies and the Galactic Halo" section at AIP.
