The Lumina Project: Morphology of Ionized Bubbles and Neutral Islands

Meredith Neyer, Aaron Smith, Ali Sadain +10

The Epoch of Reionization is characterized by the nucleation, expansion, and percolation of ionized bubbles in the intergalactic medium. Interpreting emerging multi-wavelength obse…

Active galactic nucleus driven jet feedback in cosmologically forming cool-core galaxy clusters I: The effect of hierarchical assembly on intra-cluster medium properties

Rainer Weinberger, Lorenzo Maria Perrone, Christoph Pfrommer +7

The atmospheres of cool-core galaxy clusters are excellent probes of astrophysical plasmas. However, how the interplay between assembly and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback l…

The Lumina Project: Intergalactic Clumping and Recombination Sinks

Ali Sadain, Aaron Smith, Oliver Zier +10

Recombinations during the Epoch of Reionization are intrinsically inhomogeneous, with different regions of the intergalactic medium contributing unevenly depending on their density…

The Lumina Project: The Demographics of Active Galactic Nuclei from Quasars to Little Red Dots at

Xuejian Shen, Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith +16

High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) serve as powerful probes of early black-hole growth, galaxy formation, and the evolving intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we use…

Towards physically more comprehensive AGN modelling in cosmological simulations: A MACER-based modification of IllustrisTNG

Bocheng Zhu, Volker Springel, Feng Yuan

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback plays a significant role in many aspects of galaxy formation and evolution and has become a key ingredient in cosmological simulations. Howeve…

Cosmological constraints from the small scale clustering of Emission Line Galaxies

Sara Ortega-Martinez, Raul E. Angulo, Sergio Contreras +7

Spectroscopic surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid are mapping the spatial distribution of millions of galaxies, with Emission Line Galaxies (…

From atoms to stars: Modelling formation and its impact on galactic evolution

E. Lozano, C. Scannapieco, S. E. Nuza +2

We present a sub-grid model for star formation in galaxy simulations, incorporating molecular hydrogen () production via dust grain condensation and its destruction t…

The Milky Way in context: The formation of galactic discs and chemical sequences from a cosmological perspective

Matthew D. A. Orkney, Chervin F. P. Laporte, Robert J. J. Grand +1

We study the formation of chemical sequences in the stellar disc of Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies in a full cosmological context with the auriga simulations. We focus on the conditi…

Introducing the AIDA-TNG project: galaxy formation in alternative dark matter models

Giulia Despali, Lauro Moscardini, Dylan Nelson +3

We introduce the AIDA-TNG project, a suite of cosmological magnetohydrodynamic simulations that simultaneously model galaxy formation and different variations of the underlying dar…

Improving the Accuracy of Halo Mass Based Statistics For Fast Approximate N-body Simulations

Yiheng Wu, Hong Guo, Volker Springel

Approximate N-body methods, such as FastPM and COLA, have been successful in modelling halo and galaxy clustering statistics, but their low resolution on small scales is a limitati…

A deep learning model for the density profiles of subhaloes in IllustrisTNG

Luisa Lucie-Smith, Giulia Despali, Volker Springel

We present a machine-learning-based model for the total density profiles of subhaloes with masses in the IllustrisTNG100 simulation. T…
