Local Group galaxies emerge from the dark

Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +13

The "Lambda Cold Dark Matter" (LCDM) model of cosmic structure formation is eminently falsifiable: once its parameters are fixed on large scales, it becomes testable in the nearby…

Evolution of galaxy stellar masses and star formation rates in the EAGLE simulations

M. Furlong, R. G. Bower, T. Theuns +9

We investigate the evolution of galaxy masses and star formation rates in the Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment (EAGLE) simulations. These comprise a suite o…

Baryon effects on the internal structure of LCDM halos in the EAGLE simulations

Matthieu Schaller, Carlos S. Frenk, Richard G. Bower +7

We investigate the internal structure and density profiles of halos of mass in the Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment (EAGLE) simula…

The effect of baryons on the inner density profiles of rich clusters

Matthieu Schaller, Carlos S. Frenk, Richard G. Bower +7

We use the "Evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments" (EAGLE) cosmological simulation to investigate the effect of baryons on the density profiles of rich galaxy c…

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 chosen few: the low mass halos that host faint galaxies

Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +8

Since reionization prevents star formation in most halos below 3 x 10^9 solar masses, dwarf galaxies only populate a fraction of existing dark matter halos. We use hydrodynamic cos…
