Over recent decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental
in advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These …

The universe's biggest galaxies have both vast atmospheres and supermassive central
black holes. This article reviews how those two components of a large galaxy couple and …

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 …

We present the grackle chemistry and cooling library for astrophysical simulations and
models. grackle provides a treatment of non-equilibrium primordial chemistry and cooling for …

The radiative cooling timescales at the centers of hot atmospheres surrounding elliptical
galaxies, groups and clusters are much shorter than their ages. Therefore, hot atmospheres …

We present results from 13 cosmological simulations that explore the parameter space of the
'Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments'(EAGLE) simulation project …

We present a model for star formation and supernova feedback that describes the
multiphase structure of star-forming gas on scales that are typically not resolved in …

We examine the temperature history of gas accreted by forming galaxies in smoothed
particle hydrodynamics simulations. About half of the gas follows the track expected in the …

We investigate the physics driving the cosmic star formation (SF) history using the more than
50 large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations that together comprise the …

We introduce the Hydrangea simulations, a suite of 24 cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in
simulations of massive galaxy clusters (M 200c= 1014–1015.4 M⊙) with baryon particle …
