TL;DR: The full public release of all data from the Illustris simulation project is presented, including the flagship Illustris-1 run, and a comprehensive, web-based API which allows programmatic access to search and data processing tasks is released.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider 18,000 central galaxies with stellar masses from the Illustris cosmological hydrodynamic simulation and find that the fraction of accreted stars increases with galaxy stellar mass, from less than 5% in dwarfs to 80% in the most massive objects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the largest number of Milky Way sized dark matter halos simulated at very high mass and temporal resolution, quadrupling what is currently available in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Millennium II cosmological simulation combined with the semi-analytic galaxy formation model of Guo et al. to predict the contribution of galactic nuclei formed by the tidal stripping of nucleated dwarf galaxies to globular cluster (GC) and ultracompact dwarf galaxy (UCD) populations of galaxies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the evolving comoving cumulative number density of galaxy populations found in the Illustris simulation, and examine the extent to which this assumption holds in the presence of galaxy mergers or when rank ordering is broken owing to variable stellar growth rates.
