Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and
evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress. It is now possible to …

ABSTRACT We introduce the Illustris Project, a series of large-scale hydrodynamical
simulations of galaxy formation. The highest resolution simulation, Illustris-1, covers a …

We present a new comprehensive model of the physics of galaxy formation designed for
large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation using the moving-mesh code …

Cosmological simulations make use of sub-grid recipes for the implementation of galactic
winds driven by massive stars because direct injection of supernova energy in thermal form …

Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation appear to show a" two-phase" character with a
rapid early phase at z≳ 2 during which" in situ" stars are formed within the galaxy from …

ABSTRACT The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR) is an empirical relation between
baryonic mass and rotation velocity in disk galaxies. It provides tests of galaxy formation …

The presence of a dark matter core in the central kiloparsec of many dwarf galaxies has
been a long-standing problem in galaxy formation theories based on the standard cold dark …

Simulations of the formation of late-type spiral galaxies in a cold dark matter (ΛCDM)
universe have traditionally failed to yield realistic candidates. Here we report a new …

We compare the results of various cosmological gas-dynamical codes used to simulate the
formation of a galaxy in the Λ cold dark matter structure formation paradigm. The various …

We present cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of eight Milky Way-sized haloes that
have been previously studied with dark matter only in the Aquarius project. For the first time …
