The VariableTNG project: mass-dependent regulation of galaxy morphology by baryonic feedback
Yikai Liu, Hong Guo, Volker Springel +3
Galaxy morphology is shaped by both assembly history and baryonic processes, but their relative roles remain uncertain. We use the VariableTNG (VTNG) simulation suite to investigat…
The VariableTNG project: how baryonic mechanisms shape galaxy properties
Kexin Liu, Hong Guo, Luis C. Ho +3
We use 50 Sobol-sampled VariableTNG simulations, varying eight subgrid parameters at fixed cosmology and initial conditions, to determine which baryonic processes regulate galaxies…
Evaluating the flexibility of the MillenniumTNG galaxy formation model with multi-zoom re-simulations
Francisco Maion, Raul E. Angulo, Volker Springel +2
The authors develop a multi-zoom simulation suite based on the MillenniumTNG run to test how star‑formation and AGN feedback parameters affect the galaxy stellar‑mass function and…
Magnetic field generation in mergers of massive main-sequence stars
Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Friedrich K. Roepke +3
Magnetic fields are found in many astrophysical objects, ranging from galaxy clusters to the interstellar medium of galaxies and neutron stars. Strong surface magnetic fields are a…
A comparison of numerical schemes for driven subsonic MHD turbulence
Rüdiger Pakmor, Thomas Guillet, Rebekka Bieri +3
Turbulence is ubiquitous in astrophysical systems, and since most cosmic gas is ionised, it supports magnetic fields. In turbulent environments, these fields are rapidly amplified…
The dark matter halo mass function in the cosmology at all times and over all scales -- from planetary to galaxy cluster masses
Haonan Zheng, Sownak Bose, Carlos S. Frenk +7
The dark matter halo mass function is one of the most fundamental predictions of structure formation theory and cosmological simulations. We present the full halo mass function in…
