The morphology of star-forming gas and its alignment with galaxies and dark matter haloes in the EAGLE simulations

no code implementations26 Feb 2021 Alexander D. Hill, Robert A. Crain, Juliana Kwan, Ian G. McCarthy

We present measurements of the morphology of star-forming gas in galaxies from the EAGLE simulations, and its alignment relative to stars and dark matter (DM).

Stellar Property Statistics of Massive Halos from Cosmological Hydrodynamics Simulations: Common Kernel Shapes

no code implementations7 Jan 2020 Dhayaa Anbajagane, August E. Evrard, Arya Farahi, David J. Barnes, Klaus Dolag, Ian G. McCarthy, Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich

The highest resolution simulations find $\gamma \simeq -0. 8$ for the $z=0$ shape of $p(\ln M_{\star,\rm BCG}\,|\, M_{\rm halo}, z)$ and also that the fractional scatter in total stellar mass is below $10\%$ in halos more massive than $10^{14. 3} M_{\odot}$.

Exploring the effects of galaxy formation on matter clustering through a library of simulation power spectra

no code implementations3 Jun 2019 Marcel P. van Daalen, Ian G. McCarthy, Joop Schaye

We conduct a detailed investigation of the dependence of the relative difference between the total matter power spectra in hydrodynamical and collisionless simulations on the effectiveness of stellar and AGN feedback, cosmology and redshift.

Painting with baryons: augmenting N-body simulations with gas using deep generative models

1 code implementation28 Mar 2019 Tilman Tröster, Cameron Ferguson, Joachim Harnois-Déraps, Ian G. McCarthy

We train two deep generative models, a variational auto-encoder and a generative adversarial network, on pairs of matter density and pressure slices from the BAHAMAS hydrodynamical simulation.

The BAHAMAS project: the CMB--large-scale structure tension and the roles of massive neutrinos and galaxy formation

no code implementations6 Dec 2017 Ian G. McCarthy, Simeon Bird, Joop Schaye, Joachim Harnois-Deraps, Andreea S. Font, Ludovic van Waerbeke

Recent studies have presented evidence for tension between the constraints on Omega_m and sigma_8 from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and measurements of large-scale structure (LSS).

The BAHAMAS project: Calibrated hydrodynamical simulations for large-scale structure cosmology

no code implementations8 Mar 2016 Ian G. McCarthy, Joop Schaye, Simeon Bird, Amandine M. C. Le Brun

The evolution of the large-scale distribution of matter is sensitive to a variety of fundamental parameters that characterise the dark matter, dark energy, and other aspects of our cosmological framework.

The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: public release of halo and galaxy catalogues

no code implementations5 Oct 2015 Stuart McAlpine, John C. Helly, Matthieu Schaller, James W. Trayford, Yan Qu, Michelle Furlong, Richard G. Bower, Robert A. Crain, Joop Schaye, Tom Theuns, Claudio Dalla Vecchia, Carlos S. Frenk, Ian G. McCarthy, Adrian Jenkins, Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Simon D. M. White, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps, Gerard Lemson

The free parameters of the subgrid models for feedback are calibrated to the redshift z=0 galaxy stellar mass function, galaxy sizes and black hole mass - stellar mass relation.

The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: calibration of subgrid physics and model variations

no code implementations6 Jan 2015 Robert A. Crain, Joop Schaye, Richard G. Bower, Michelle Furlong, Matthieu Schaller, Tom Theuns, Claudio Dalla Vecchia, Carlos S. Frenk, Ian G. McCarthy, John C. Helly, Adrian Jenkins, Yetli M. Rosas-Guevara, Simon D. M. White, James W. Trayford

We find that the properties of galaxies with stellar mass <~ M* (the "knee" of the galaxy stellar mass function) are largely governed by feedback associated with star formation, while those of more massive galaxies are also controlled by feedback from accretion onto their central black holes.
