Intrinsic alignments of galaxies in the EAGLE and cosmo-OWLS simulations

Marco Velliscig, Marcello Cacciato, Joop Schaye +8

We report results for the alignments of galaxies in the EAGLE and cosmo-OWLS simulations as a function of galaxy separation and halo mass. The combination of these hydro-cosmologic…

The distribution of neutral hydrogen around high-redshift galaxies and quasars in the EAGLE simulation

Alireza Rahmati, Joop Schaye, Richard G. Bower +4

The observed high covering fractions of neutral hydrogen (HI) with column densities above around Lyman-Break Galaxies (LBGs) and bright quasars at redsh…

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 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…

The impact of angular momentum on black hole accretion rates in simulations of galaxy formation

Y. M. Rosas-Guevara, R. G. Bower, J. Schaye +7

Feedback from energy liberated by gas accretion onto black holes (BHs) is an attractive mechanism to explain the exponential cut-off at the massive end of the galaxy stellar mass f…
