Introducing the Illustris Project: simulating the coevolution of dark and visible matter in the Universe

TL;DR: The Illustris Project as mentioned in this paper is a series of large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation, which includes primordial and metal-line cooling with self-shielding corrections, stellar evolution, stellar feedback, gas recycling, chemical enrichment, supermassive black hole growth, and feedback from active galactic nuclei.

Properties of galaxies reproduced by a hydrodynamic simulation

TL;DR: A simulation that starts 12 million years after the Big Bang, and traces 13 billion years of cosmic evolution with 12 billion resolution elements in a cube of 106.5 megaparsecs a side yields a reasonable population of ellipticals and spirals, reproduces the observed distribution of galaxies in clusters and characteristics of hydrogen on large scales, and at the same time matches the ‘metal’ and hydrogen content of galaxies on small scales.
