The AGORA collaboration

​

Analysing Galaxies Of Resolved Anatomy (AGORA) is an international collaboration of theoretical astrophysicists specialising in numerical simulations of galaxy formation. The broad goal of the project is to compare in a systematic and controlled way the different simulation codes used to model galaxies, and discern which of the differences are caused by different numerical schemes vs. different sub-grid physics. Further details about the collaboration and our various science goals can be found here.

 

I am a member of the collaboration, and am running and analysing simulations using the adaptive-mesh-refinement (AMR) code, The Adaptive Refinement Tree (ART).
