So cool! What are the specs of the computer you run these on? (I assume it takes a lot of space loll). Also is it primarily c++? I'd also be interested in hearing more on that observational project! (fellow undergrad astrophysics student here hehe) Good luck on everything you got this!!
@@alisonandrade8435 Thank you so much!! 🩷 these simulations are quite computationally expensive so I run them remotely through a supercomputer! Depending on the resolution of the simulation it’ll take many nodes and a lot of time. All of my post simulation run analysis is done using python, but the sph code creating the simulations uses C++! If you’re interested in my observational project stay tuned for my video after next!!! I’ll make a video very similar to this one 😁
This is so cool! Thank you for posting stuff like this because there's basically no astrophysics channels on youtube. I commented on a previous video of yours asking if you recommend astrophysics, and you mentioned that you dont makes tons of money. If you're comfortable answering, do you think its significant enough a factor to make you not choose to go into astrophysics? Thanks 😁
@@OutsidePerson985 hi!! One thing about me is that I’m an open book haha! You can ask me anything 😆 as a graduate student I make about 38k a year, but once you enter the workforce holding a PhD, you’re looking at salaries of about 100k - 150k. For some that may seem like a lot, but it’s not really much considering the amount of effort put into earning your degree. Not only that, but you have the additional pressure of writing grants to fund your work (plus grad students), and publishing journals to maintain your position in whichever institution you work at. So ultimately the amount of work put into doesn’t reflect in your salary. You have software engineers/developers with bachelor’s degrees earning well over 200k and working 30-40 hour work weeks 😂 so I usually advise that you choose Astro specifically because you love it regardless of pay
@@OutsidePerson985 of course!!! Glad to hear you find my videos helpful 🥹 I try to make content that I was looking for when I was an undergraduate. If you have any video suggestions or more questions let me know!!!

@@ogeokoronkwo ooo cool cool that makes sense haha! looking forward to it :)
