We compare the mass and internal distribution of atomic hydrogen (H I) in 2200 present-day central galaxies with Mstar > 1010  M⊙ from the 100 Mpc EAGLE ‘Reference’ simulation to observational data. Atomic hydrogen fractions are corrected for self-sh... Read More about The distribution of atomic hydrogen in EAGLE galaxies: morphologies, profiles, and H I holes.

The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies (2015)
Journal Article
Sawala, T., Frenk, C. S., Fattahi, A., Navarro, J. F., Theuns, T., Bower, R. G., …Schaye, J. (2016). The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(1), 85-97. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2597

Since reionization prevents star formation in most haloes less massive than 3 × 109 M⊙, dwarf galaxies only populate a fraction of existing dark matter haloes. We use hydrodynamic cosmological simulations of the Local Group to study the discriminatin... Read More about The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies.

We present results from a subset of simulations from the ‘Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments’ (EAGLE) suite in which the formulation of the hydrodynamics scheme is varied. We compare simulations that use the same subgrid models... Read More about The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: the importance of the hydrodynamics scheme.

We report results for the alignments of galaxies in the EAGLE and cosmo-OWLS hydrodynamical cosmological simulations as a function of galaxy separation (−1 ≤ log10(r/[ h−1 Mpc]) ≤ 2) and halo mass (10.7 ≤ log10(M200/[h−1 M⊙]) ≤ 15). We focus on two c... Read More about Intrinsic alignments of galaxies in the EAGLE and cosmo-OWLS simulations.

Towards the statistical detection of the warm-hot intergalactic medium in intercluster filaments of the cosmic web (2015)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 455(3), 2662-2697. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2376

Modern analyses of structure formation predict a universe tangled in a ‘cosmic web’ of dark matter and diffuse baryons. These theories further predict that at low z, a significant fraction of the baryons will be shock-heated to T ∼ 105–107 K yielding...
