Data release of UV to submm broadband fluxes for simulated galaxies from the EAGLE project

Peter Camps, Ana Trčka, James Trayford +6

We present dust-attenuated and dust emission fluxes for sufficiently resolved galaxies in the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, calculated with the SKIRT radi…

Tidal dwarf galaxies in cosmological simulations

Sylvia Ploeckinger, Kuldeep Sharma, Joop Schaye +3

The formation and evolution of gravitationally bound, star forming substructures in tidal tails of interacting galaxies, called tidal dwarf galaxies (TDG), has been studied, until…

The diversity of assembly histories leading to disc galaxy formation in a LambdaCDM model

Andreea S. Font, Ian G. McCarthy, Amandine M. C. Le Brun +2

[Abridged] Typical disc galaxies forming in a LambdaCDM cosmology encounter a violent environment, where they often experience mergers with massive satellites. The fact that disc g…

The multiphase circumgalactic medium traced by low metal ions in EAGLE zoom simulations

Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Joop Schaye, Robert A. Crain +2

We explore the circumgalactic metal content traced by commonly observed low ion absorbers, including C II, Si II, Si III, Si IV, and Mg II. We use a set of cosmological hydrodynami…

Flickering AGN can explain the strong circumgalactic O VI observed by COS-Halos

Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Marijke Segers, Joop Schaye +2

Proximity zone fossils (PZFs) are ionization signatures around recently active galactic nuclei (AGN) where metal species in the circumgalactic medium remain over-ionized after the…

The relation between galaxy morphology and colour in the EAGLE simulation

Camila A. Correa, Joop Schaye, Bart Clauwens +5

We investigate the relation between kinematic morphology, intrinsic colour and stellar mass of galaxies in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We calculate the intrin…

A comparison of observed and simulated absorption from HI, CIV, and SiIV around star-forming galaxies suggests redshift-space distortions are due to inflows

Monica L. Turner, Joop Schaye, Robert A. Crain +4

We study HI and metal-line absorption around star-forming galaxies by comparing an analysis of data from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey to mock spectra generated fr…

The link between galaxy and black hole growth in the EAGLE simulation

Stuart McAlpine, Richard G. Bower, Chris M. Harrison +4

We investigate the connection between the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies and their central black hole accretion rate (BHAR) using the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simul…
