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.

TL;DR: A relational database storing a large number of properties of haloes and galaxies and their merger trees, including stellar masses, star formation rates, metallicities, photometric measurements and mock gri images is made available for general use.

TL;DR: The EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation has been released for general use as discussed by the authors, including a large number of properties of haloes and galaxies and their merger trees, including stellar masses, star formation rates, metallicities, photometric measurements and mock gri images.

TL;DR: It is argued that many scientific codes, like SKIRT, can benefit from careful object-oriented design and from a friendly user interface, even if it is not a graphical user interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented mock optical images, broadband and H α fluxes, and D4000 spectral indices for 145 galaxies from the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation at redshift z = 0.1, modellingdust with the SKIRT Monte Carlo radiative transfer code.
