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
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
The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: Public release of halo and galaxy catalogues
Stuart McAlpine,John C. Helly,Matthieu Schaller,James W. Trayford,Yan Qu,Michelle Furlong,Richard G. Bower,Robert A. Crain,Joop Schaye,Tom Theuns,C. Dalla Vecchia,C. Dalla Vecchia,Carlos S. Frenk,Ian G. McCarthy,Adrian Jenkins,Y Rosas-Guevara,Sdm White,Maarten Baes,Peter Camps,Gerard Lemson +19 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ram pressure stripping the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies in groups and clusters
Ian G. McCarthy,Carlos S. Frenk,Andreea S. Font,Cedric G. Lacey,Richard G. Bower,Nigel L. Mitchell,Michael L. Balogh,Tom Theuns,Tom Theuns +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a large suite of carefully controlled full hydrodynamic simulations to study the ram pressure stripping of the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies as they fall into massive groups and clusters.
