The redshift evolution of massive galaxy clusters in the MACSIS simulations (2016)
Journal Article
Barnes, D., Kay, S., Henson, M., McCarthy, I., Schaye, J., & Jenkins, A. (2017). The redshift evolution of massive galaxy clusters in the MACSIS simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 213-233. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2722

We present the MAssive ClusterS and Intercluster Structures (MACSIS) project, a suite of 390 clusters simulated with baryonic physics that yields realistic massive galaxy clusters capable of matching a wide range of observed properties. MACSIS extend... Read More about The redshift evolution of massive galaxy clusters in the MACSIS simulations.

Substructure and galaxy formation in the Copernicus Complexio warm dark matter simulations (2016)
Journal Article
Bose, S., Hellwing, W., Frenk, C., Jenkins, A., Lovell, M., Helly, J., …Gao, L. (2017). Substructure and galaxy formation in the Copernicus Complexio warm dark matter simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 464(4), 4520-4533. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2686

We use the Copernicus Complexio (coco) high-resolution N-body simulations to investigate differences in the properties of small-scale structures in the standard cold dark matter (CDM) model and in a model with a cutoff in the initial power spectrum o...

The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: Public release of halo and galaxy catalogues (2016)
Journal Article
McAlpine, S., Helly, J., Schaller, M., Trayford, J., Qu, Y., Furlong, M., …Lemson, G. (2016). The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: Public release of halo and galaxy catalogues. Astronomy and computing, 15, 72-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ascom.2016.02.004

We present the public data release of halo and galaxy catalogues extracted from the eagle suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. These simulations were performed with an enhanced version of the gadget code that includes... Read More about The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: Public release of halo and galaxy catalogues.

Vertical disc heating in Milky Way-sized galaxies in a cosmological context (2016)
Journal Article
Grand, R., Springel, V., Gómez, F., Marinacci, F., Pakmor, R., Campbell, D., & Jenkins, A. (2016). Vertical disc heating in Milky Way-sized galaxies in a cosmological context. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 459(1), 199-219. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw601

Vertically extended, high velocity dispersion stellar distributions appear to be a ubiquitous feature of disc galaxies, and both internal and external mechanisms have been proposed to be the major driver of their formation. However, it is unclear to... Read More about Vertical disc heating in Milky Way-sized galaxies in a cosmological context.

The Copernicus Complexio: a high-resolution view of the small-scale Universe (2016)
Journal Article
Hellwing, W., Frenk, C., Cautun, M., Bose, S., Helly, J., Jenkins, A., …Cytowski, M. (2016). The Copernicus Complexio: a high-resolution view of the small-scale Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(4), 3492-3509. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw214

We introduce Copernicus Complexio (COCO), a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of structure formation in the ΛCDM model. COCO follows an approximately spherical region of radius ∼17.4 h−1 Mpc embedded in a much larger periodic cube that i...

The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles (2016)
Journal Article
Sawala, T., Frenk, C. S., Fattahi, A., Navarro, J. F., Bower, R. G., Crain, R. A., …White, S. D. (2016). The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(2), 1931-1943. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw145

The Local Group galaxies offer some of the most discriminating tests of models of cosmic structure formation. For example, observations of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda satellite populations appear to be in disagreement with N-body simulations of...

The APOSTLE project: Local Group kinematic mass constraints and simulation candidate selection (2016)
Journal Article
Fattahi, A., Navarro, J. F., Sawala, T., Frenk, C. S., Oman, K. A., Crain, R. A., …Jenkins, A. (2016). The APOSTLE project: Local Group kinematic mass constraints and simulation candidate selection. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(1), 844-856. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2970

We use a large sample of isolated dark matter halo pairs drawn from cosmological N-body simulations to identify candidate systems whose kinematics match that of the Local Group (LG) of galaxies. We find, in agreement with the ‘timing argument’ and ea... Read More about The APOSTLE project: Local Group kinematic mass constraints and simulation candidate selection.
