<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1px; font: 10pt Tahoma;"><blockquote><b>Presenter:</b> Dr Robert Crain<div> </div><div><b>Title:</b> Simulating the Cosmos</div><div><b>Abstract:</b> Dr Robert Crain will discuss how astrophysicists use supercomputers to predict the behaviour of the mysterious dark matter, as it evolves into cosmic structures and triggers the coalescence of cosmic gas into galaxies. I will also explain how analysis of new simulations at Swinburne has led to the resolution of a 20-year old astrophysical problem, related to the X-ray luminosity of the majestic disc galaxies we see around our own Milky Way.'</div>
