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
A luminous quasar at a redshift of z = 7.085
Daniel J. Mortlock,Stephen J. Warren,Bram Venemans,Mitesh Patel,Paul C. Hewett,Richard G. McMahon,Chris Simpson,Tom Theuns,Tom Theuns,E. Gonzales-Solares,Andy Adamson,Simon Dye,Nigel Hambly,Paul Hirst,Mike Irwin,Ernst Kuiper,Andy Lawrence,Huub Röttgering +17 more
TL;DR: Observations of a quasar at a redshift of 7.3 are reported, suggesting that the neutral fraction of the intergalactic medium in front of ULAS J1120+0641 exceeded 0.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: calibration of subgrid physics and model variations
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 physics driving the cosmic star formation history
Joop Schaye,Claudio Dalla Vecchia,C. M. Booth,Robert P. C. Wiersma,Tom Theuns,Tom Theuns,M.R. Haas,Serena Bertone,Alan R. Duffy,Alan R. Duffy,Ian G. McCarthy,Freeke van de Voort +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the physics driving the cosmic star formation history using the more than 50 large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations that together comprise the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass loss of galaxies due to an ultraviolet background
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to determine to what extent galaxies lose their gas due to photoheating from an ionizing background, and they found that the characteristic mass at which haloes on average have lost half of their baryons is M c ∼ 6.5 x 10 9 h -1 M ⊙ at z = 0, which corresponds to a circular velocity of 25 km s -1.
