The Galaxy Cluster Merger Catalog: An Online Repository of Mock Observations from Simulated Galaxy Cluster Mergers

Understand

We present the "Galaxy Cluster Merger Catalog." This catalog provides an extensive suite of mock observations and related data for N-body and hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy cluster mergers and clusters from cosmological simulations.

• These mock observations consist of projections of a number of important observable quantities in several different wavebands as well as along different lines of sight through each simulation domain.
• The web interface to the catalog consists of easily browseable images over epoch and projection direction, as well as download links for the raw data and a JS9 interface for interactive data exploration.
• The data is presented within a consistent format so that comparison between simulations is straightforward.
