The EAGLE project: Simulating the evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments

Joop Schaye, Robert A. Crain, Richard G. Bower +19

We introduce the Virgo Consortium's EAGLE project, a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies and black holes in representative volumes. We discuss…

The impact of angular momentum on black hole accretion rates in simulations of galaxy formation

Y. M. Rosas-Guevara, R. G. Bower, J. Schaye +7

Feedback from energy liberated by gas accretion onto black holes (BHs) is an attractive mechanism to explain the exponential cut-off at the massive end of the galaxy stellar mass f…

The impact of baryonic processes on the two-point correlation functions of galaxies, subhaloes and matter

Marcel P. van Daalen, Joop Schaye, Ian G. McCarthy +2

The observed clustering of galaxies and the cross-correlation of galaxies and mass provide important constraints on both cosmology and models of galaxy formation. Even though the d…

Simulations of disk galaxies with cosmic ray driven galactic winds

C. M. Booth, Oscar Agertz, Andrey V. Kravtsov +1

We present results from high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of isolated SMC- and Milky Way-sized galaxies that include a model for feedback from galactic cosmic rays (CRs). We…

The Impact of Different Physical Processes on the Statistics of Lyman-limit and Damped Lyman-alpha Absorbers

Gabriel Altay, Tom Theuns, Joop Schaye +2

We compute the z = 3 neutral hydrogen column density distribution function f(NHI) for 19 simulations drawn from the OWLS project using a post-processing correction for self-shieldi…

A measurement of galaxy halo mass from the surrounding HI Lyα absorption

Olivera Rakic, Joop Schaye, Charles C. Steidel +3

We measure the dark matter halo masses of z~2.36 UV color-selected star-forming galaxies by matching the observed median HI Lyα absorption around them, as observed in the spectra o…
