The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation

Freeke van de Voort, Yannick M. Bahé, Richard G. Bower +4

Galaxies that have fallen into massive haloes may no longer be able to accrete gas from their surroundings, a process referred to as 'starvation' or 'strangulation' of satellites.…

On the galaxy-halo connection in the EAGLE simulation

Harry Desmond, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa Wechsler +2

Empirical models of galaxy formation require assumptions about the correlations between galaxy and halo properties. These may be calibrated against observations or inferred from ph…

Properties of Local Group galaxies in hydrodynamical simulations of sterile neutrino dark matter cosmologies

Mark R. Lovell, Sownak Bose, Alexey Boyarsky +10

We study galaxy formation in sterile neutrino dark matter models that differ signifi- cantly from both cold and from `warm thermal relic' models. We use the EAGLE code to carry out…

The Mass-Discrepancy Acceleration Relation: a Natural Outcome of Galaxy Formation in Cold Dark Matter halos

Aaron D. Ludlow, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Matthieu Schaller +8

We analyze the total and baryonic acceleration profiles of a set of well-resolved galaxies identified in the EAGLE suite of hydrodynamic simulations. Our runs start from the same i…

A chronicle of galaxy mass assembly in the EAGLE simulation

Yan Qu, John C. Helly, Richard G. Bower +8

We analyse the mass assembly of central galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations. We build merger trees to connect galaxies to their progenitors at different redshifts and…

Barred galaxies in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation

David G. Algorry, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +8

We examine the properties of barred disc galaxies in a LCDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulation from the EAGLE project. Our study follows the formation of 269 discs identified a…
