Sphenix: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for the next generation of galaxy formation simulations

Josh Borrow, Matthieu Schaller, Richard G. Bower +1

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a ubiquitous numerical method for solving the fluid equations, and is prized for its conservation properties, natural adaptivity, and simpl…

Inconsistencies arising from the coupling of galaxy formation sub-grid models to Pressure-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Josh Borrow, Matthieu Schaller, Richard G. Bower

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a Lagrangian method for solving the fluid equations that is commonplace in astrophysics, prized for its natural adaptivity and stability. T…

The Star-Formation Properties of the Observed and Simulated AGN Universe: BAT vs EAGLE

Thomas M. Jackson, D. J. Rosario, D. M. Alexander +3

In this paper we present data from 72 low redshift, hard X-ray selected AGN taken from the {\it Swift}-BAT 58 month catalogue. We utilise spectral energy distribution fitting to th…

Galactic inflow and wind recycling rates in the EAGLE simulations

Peter D. Mitchell, Joop Schaye, Richard G. Bower

The role of galactic wind recycling represents one of the largest unknowns in galaxy evolution, as any contribution of recycling to galaxy growth is largely degenerate with the inf…
