First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: the galaxy colour bimodality

TL;DR: The first two simulations of the IllustrisTNG project were presented in this article, focusing on the optical colors of galaxies at low redshift, and the results showed that the simulated (g-r) colors of 10^9 10^11 Msun which redden at z < 1 accumulate on average ~25% of their final z=0 mass post-reddening; at the same time, ~18% of such massive galaxies acquire half or more of their last stellar mass while on the red sequence.

Donald G. York
- 27 Jun 2000 - 
TL;DR: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as mentioned in this paper provides the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non-luminous matter in the Universe: a photometrically and astrometrically calibrated digital imaging survey of pi steradians above about Galactic latitude 30 degrees in five broad optical bands.

The Cosmological simulation code GADGET-2

TL;DR: GADGET-2 as mentioned in this paper is a massively parallel tree-SPH code, capable of following a collisionless fluid with the N-body method, and an ideal gas by means of smoothed particle hydrodynamics.
