A 160 thousand particle simulation showing the collision between two galaxy clusters of fifty galaxies each. The luminous galaxy particles are shown in white, and consist of the 10% most tightly bound particles assigned to each galaxy. The clusterwide potential well is formed by the cluster dark matter particles, and these are shown in orange. All simulations shown have 25% of the total mass in the galaxies and 75% (beta=75) in the clusterwide dark matter halo.
