Astrophysical Data Analysis and Visualization Toolkit
نویسنده
چکیده
AstroMD is a visualization software offering several capabilities specifically oriented to the cosmological analysis of three-dimensional structures. It was developed within the framework of the Cosmo.Lab project, financially supported by the European Community, which involves several European Astrophysical Institutions and the CINECA. This tool gives a 3D graphic representation of data, exploiting the most advanced visualization technology based on virtual reality, and has several built-intools which allow the user an efficient manipulation and analysis of data, in order to build a leading edge instrument for scientific research. It was developed using the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) by Kitware, a freely available visualization library portable on many platforms. AstroMD is an open source freely available code at the address http://cosmolab.cineca.it/.

The analysis of complex multiphysics astrophysical simulations presents a unique and rapidly growing set of challenges: reproducibility, parallelization, and vast increases in data size and complexity chief among them. In order to meet these challenges, and in order to open up new avenues for collaboration between users of multiple simulation platforms, we present yt, an open source, communityd...
متن کاملAnalysis and Visualization of Multi-Scale Astrophysical Simulations Using Python and NumPy
The study the origins of cosmic structure requires large-scale computer simulations beginning with well-constrained, observationally-determined, initial conditions. We use Adaptive Mesh Refinement to conduct multi-resolution simulations spanning twelve orders of magnitude in spatial dimensions and over twenty orders of magnitude in density. These simulations must be analyzed and visualized in a...
متن کاملAnalyzing Industrial Furnace Efficiency Using Comparative Visualization in a Virtual Reality Environment
We describe an interactive toolkit used to perform comparative analysis of two or more data sets arising from numerical simulations. Several techniques have been incorporated into this toolkit, including (1) successive visualization of individual data sets, (2) data comparison techniques such as computation and visualization of the differences between data sets, and (3) image comparison methods...
متن کاملThe Cosmo.Lab Project: Developing AstroMD, an Object Oriented, Open Source Visualization and Pre-analysis Tool for Astrophysical Data
The Cosmo.Lab project, financed by the European Community, has the object of developing AstroMD, a tool of visualization and analysis of astrophysical data. AstroMD responds to the requirements proposed by several research fields: data coming from cosmological simulations, from observational catalogues and extended objects like radiosources or clusters of galaxies. AstroMD exploits also the mos...
