More accurate simulations with separate initial conditions for baryons and dark matter

More accurate simulations with separate initial conditions for baryons and dark matter

We revisit techniques for performing cosmological simulations with both baryons and cold dark matter when each fluid has different initial conditions, as is the case at the end of the radiation era. Most simulations do not reproduce the linear prediction for the difference between the cold dark matter and baryon …
