Bolshoi Simulations

There are two Bolshoi simulations: Bolshoi uses WMAP cosmology and BolshoiP is for the Planck cosmology. Both were produced by the ART n-body code. The simulations use 250Mpc/h computation boxes and 2048^3 particles. Force resolution (size of the smallest cell) 1kpc/h (proper).
