Animation for Good, and for Ill Good Stories (a. k. a. ) “Visual Explanations”

Animation for Good, and for Ill Good Stories (a. k. a. ) “Visual Explanations” Evolution of processes in time “Tracking” Finding key moments Ill Studying processes where non-sequential frames are critically related e. g. 2 -D slices of 3 -D data, shown in time 4

Numerical Simulation of Star Formation (Good) • MHD turbulence gives “t=0” conditions; Jeans mass=1

Numerical Simulation of Star Formation (Good) • MHD turbulence gives “t=0” conditions; Jeans mass=1 Msun • 50 Msun, 0. 38 pc, navg=3 x 105 ptcls/cc • forms ~50 objects • T=10 K • SPH, no B or L, G • movie=1. 4 free-fall times Bate, Bonnell & Bromm 2002 (UKAFF) 5
