Abstract

We have simulated the evolution of a large sample of X-ray clusters in a Lambda-CDM universe at high spatial resolution using adaptive mesh refinement and placed the results in an online archive for public access. The Simulated Cluster Archive website http://sca.ncsa.uiuc.edu provides tools for interactive 2D and 3D analysis of gas and dark matter fields, X-ray and SZ imaging, and data export. We encourage community use and solicit their feedback.
