Polyphy, an interactive visualization and model fitting tool that
provides a novel approach for investigating cosmological datasets.
PolyPhy is an interactive visualization and model-fitting tool that
provides a novel approach to investigating cosmological datasets.
Through a fast computational simulation method inspired by the behavior
of Physarum polycephalum, an unicellular slime mold organism that
efficiently forages for nutrients, astrophysicists are able to
extrapolate from sparse datasets, such as galaxy maps archived in the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and then use these extrapolations to inform
analyses of a wide range of other data, such as spectroscopic
observations captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Researchers can
interactively update the simulation by adjusting model parameters, and
then investigate the resulting visual output to form hypotheses about
the data. We describe details of Polyphy's simulation model and its
interaction and visualization modalities, and we evaluate Polyphy
through three scientific use cases that demonstrate the effectiveness of
our approach.

The simulation component implements the MCPM algorithm to reconstruct an
optimal transport network given a set of point data in 3D space. Such
data can represent the distribution of galaxies or dark matter halos,
typically on the scales of 100s of megaparsecs. MCPM uses a swarm of
millions of particle-like agents to explore the simulation domain.

The visualization component facilitates analysis tasks of the estimated
network. Thanks to the interactive nature of Polyphy we can observe
changes of the estimate in response to changing MCPM parameters. The
network. Thanks to the interactive nature of PolyPhy, we can observe
changes in the estimate in response to changing MCPM parameters. The
main concern is whether the reconstruction fits the input data (i.e. all
the input points are contained in it) as well as the plausibility of the
obtained filamentary structures.

"In this experiment we fit and visualize the MassiveNuS dataset at redshift z=0 (i.e., present day). This is a large dataset of 12M dark matter halos resulting from a cosmological simulation of a 256​³ Mpc region of space .After fitting the data with Polyphy we render it with volumetric path tracing. To distinguish between the input dark matter halos and the reconstructed filaments, we use two different emission profiles: white-red for the halos and yellow-blue for the filaments. ​The inner four views correspond to the upper corners of the density cube, while the outer four to the bottom corners. Thus, we obtain a view of the dataset from all directions. In Burchett et al. we analyze another large-scale simulation: IllustrisTNG . Thanks to Polyphy, we were able to visualize not only the structure of the Cosmic web, but also the directionality of its filaments and relationship between galactic star formation rates and their relative positions in the structure.",

"Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are strong and extremely short (around 1 ms) flashes of electromagnetic radiation spreading through space on intergalactic scales. Discovered only about a decade ago, they are one of the active topics of inquiry in both theoretical and observational astronomy. The adjacent visualization recreates the hypothetical situation of what an FRB would look like, were it emitted in visible light rather than the much longer radio waves. We see that due to occlusions by the Cosmic web structures the FRB radiation spreads through space very unevenly. Thanks to Polyphy, we were able to both reconstruct the Cosmic web structure surrounding this virtual FRB and visualize the situation in a physically plausible way.",
