Journal ArticleDOI
The EAGLE project: Simulating the evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments
Joop Schaye,Robert A. Crain,Richard G. Bower,Michelle Furlong,Matthieu Schaller,Tom Theuns,Tom Theuns,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Carlos S. Frenk,Ian G. McCarthy,John C. Helly,Adrian Jenkins,Yetli Rosas-Guevara,Simon D. M. White,Maarten Baes,C. M. Booth,C. M. Booth,Peter Camps,Julio F. Navarro,Yan Qu,Alireza Rahmati,Till Sawala,Peter A. Thomas,James W. Trayford +24 more
TL;DR: The Virgo Consortium's EAGLE project as discussed by the authors is a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies and black holes in representative volumes, where thermal energy is injected into the gas, allowing winds to develop without predetermined speed or mass loading factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert A. Crain,Robert A. Crain,Joop Schaye,Richard G. Bower,Michelle Furlong,Matthieu Schaller,Tom Theuns,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Carlos S. Frenk,Ian G. McCarthy,John C. Helly,Adrian Jenkins,Yetli Rosas-Guevara,Simon D. M. White,James W. Trayford +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from thirteen cosmological simulations that explore the parameter space of the "Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments" (EAGLE) simulation project.
Journal ArticleDOI
The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles
Till Sawala,Till Sawala,Carlos S. Frenk,Azadeh Fattahi,Julio F. Navarro,Richard G. Bower,Robert A. Crain,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,Michelle Furlong,John C. Helly,Adrian Jenkins,Kyle A. Oman,Matthieu Schaller,Joop Schaye,Tom Theuns,James W. Trayford,Simon D. M. White +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of twelve volumes selected to match the kinematics of the Local Group (LG) members is presented. And the results from APOSTLE (A Project Of Simulating The Local Environment) are compared to the observed abundance of LG galaxies.
