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
Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation
Richard G. Bower,Andrew J. Benson,Rowena K. Malbon,John C. Helly,Carlos S. Frenk,Carlton M. Baugh,Shaun Cole,Cedric G. Lacey +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new implementation of the Durham semi-analytic model of galaxy formation in which feedback due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) is assumed to quench cooling flows in massive halos is discussed.

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
What Shapes the Luminosity Function of Galaxies
Andrew J. Benson,Richard G. Bower,Carlos S. Frenk,Cedric G. Lacey,Carlton M. Baugh,Shaun Cole +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function of galaxies in hierarchical clustering models and demonstrate that while feedback of form 1 is able to flatten the faint end of the galaxy luminosity, this process alone does not produce the sharp cutoff observed at large luminosities.
