The Hydrangea simulations: galaxy formation in and around massive clusters

Yannick M. Bahé, David J. Barnes, Claudio Dalla Vecchia +12

We introduce the Hydrangea simulations, a suite of 24 cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of massive galaxy clusters (M_200c = 10^14-10^15 M_Sun) with baryon particle mas…

The Cluster-EAGLE project: global properties of simulated clusters with resolved galaxies

David J. Barnes, Scott T. Kay, Yannick M. Bahe +10

We introduce the Cluster-EAGLE (C-EAGLE) simulation project, a set of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of galaxy clusters in the mass range $10^{1…

A numerical study of interactions and stellar bars

Inma Martinez-Valpuesta, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri, A. César González-García +2

For several decades it has been known that stellar bars in disc galaxies can be triggered by interactions, or by internal processes such as dynamical instabilities. In this work, w…

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…

Supermassive black holes in the EAGLE Universe. Revealing the observables of their growth

Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Richard G. Bower, Joop Schaye +5

We investigate the evolution of supermassive black holes in the `Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments' (EAGLE) cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The large…

The Aurora radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of reionization: calibration and first results

Andreas H. Pawlik, Alireza Rahmati, Joop Schaye +2

We introduce a new suite of radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation and reionization called Aurora. The Aurora simulations make use of a spatially adaptive radiati…

The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: the importance of the hydrodynamics scheme

Matthieu Schaller, Claudio Dalla Vecchia, Joop Schaye +5

We present results from a subset of simulations from the "Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments" (EAGLE) suite in which the formulation of the hydrodynamics sch…

Bent by baryons: the low mass galaxy-halo relation

Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +11

The relation between galaxies and dark matter halos is of vital importance for evaluating theoretical predictions of structure formation and galaxy formation physics. We show that…

Simulating galactic outflows with thermal supernova feedback

Claudio Dalla Vecchia, Joop Schaye

Cosmological simulations make use of sub-grid recipes for the implementation of galactic winds driven by massive stars because direct injection of supernova energy in thermal form…
