Lanzada la simulación Lumina que modela los primeros dos mil millones de años del cosmos

Físicos de MIT, Harvard y otras instituciones pusieron en marcha la simulación Lumina, un modelo cosmológico de los primeros dos mil millones de años del universo, utilizando el superordenador Frontier en el Laboratorio Nacional Oak Ridge en Tennessee, informó USA Today. Moneycontrol. com informó que la simulación se ejecuta en más de 15 000 GPU y sigue la evolución cósmica desde 45 millones hasta dos mil millones de años después del Big Bang, con el objetivo de interpretar los datos del Telescopio Espacial James Webb y del Telescopio Espacial Roman.

CNET señaló que el modelo cubre un cubo de 1,5 mil millones de años luz y simula la reionización del hidrógeno y helio durante ese periodo. El New York Post indicó que Lumina visualiza la formación temprana de galaxias y agujeros negros para compararla con observaciones de JWST. Mirage News añadió que el proyecto busca contrastar teorías con las observaciones de los próximos telescopios.
