People in the TNG team.
The TNG simulations would not be possible without the hard work of many people, efforts including code and model development, proposals, simulation execution, post-processing, and analysis. The project as a whole is being led by Volker Springel at HITS, in collaboration with researchers at MPIA, MPA, Harvard, MIT, and CCA. We list the team members here:
Lars Hernquist
Harvard University
Rüdiger Pakmor
Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies MPA
Rainer Weinberger
Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies CFA
Federico Marinacci
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Bologna
Jill Naiman
Harvard University NCSA/UIUC
Mark Vogelsberger
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Shy Genel
Center for Computational Astrophysics, Flatiron Institute
Paul Torrey

All of the primary TNG simulations have been run on the
Cray XC40 Hazel Hen
supercomputer at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) in Germany.
They have been made possible by the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) large-scale
project proposals GCS-ILLU and GCS-DWAR. GCS is the alliance of the three national
supercomputing centres HLRS (Universitaet Stuttgart), JSC (Forschungszentrum Julich), and
LRZ (Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften), funded by the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF) and the German State Ministries for Research of Baden-Wuerttemberg
(MWK), Bayern (StMWFK) and Nordrhein-Westfalen (MIWF).
Further simulations were run on the Hydra and Draco supercomputers at the Max Planck
Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF, formerly known as RZG) in Garching near Munich, in
addition to the Magny system at HITS in Heidelberg. Additional computations were carried out
on the Odyssey2 system supported by the FAS Division
of Science, Research Computing Group at Harvard University, and the Stampede supercomputer at
the Texas Advanced Computing Center through the XSEDE project AST140063.
