The intergalactic medium, the low density gas that lies between galaxies, contains vast information about how the universe evolved and when the first stars formed. In order to provide a solid theoretical platform for current and upcoming observations of the properties of this gas, a series of hydrodynamical cosmological simulations using the Nyx code were run on JUWELS on JSC. These simulations had an unprecedented dynamical range and used a novel approach to account for the challenging inhomogeneous radiation that must be included in these type of calculations.
