The evolution of the baryon fraction in halos as a cause of scatter in the galaxy stellar mass in the EAGLE simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 482(3), 3261-3273. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2914

The EAGLE simulation suite has previously been used to investigate the relationship between the stellar mass of galaxies, M*, and the properties of dark matter halos, using the hydrodynamical reference simulation combined with a dark matter only (DMO...

The star formation rate and stellar content contributions of morphological components in the EAGLE simulations (2018)
Journal Article
Trayford, J., Frenk, C., Theuns, T., Schaye, J., & Correa, C. (2019). The star formation rate and stellar content contributions of morphological components in the EAGLE simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 483(1), 744-766. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2860

The Hubble sequence provides a useful classification of galaxy morphology at low redshift. However, morphologies are not static, but rather evolve as the growth of structure proceeds through mergers, accretion and secular processes. We investigate ho...

The oxygen abundance gradients in the gas discs of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation (2018)
Journal Article
Tissera, P., Rosas-Guevara, Y., Bower, R., Crain, R., del P Lagos, C., Schaller, M., …Theuns, T. (2019). The oxygen abundance gradients in the gas discs of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 482(2), 2208-2221. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2817

We use the EAGLE simulations to study the oxygen abundance gradients of gas discs in galaxies within the stellar mass range [109.5, 1010.8] ∼ M⊙ at z = 0. The estimated median oxygen gradient is −0.011 ± 0.002 dex kpc−1, which is shallower than obser...

The chemical imprint of the bursty nature of Milky Way's progenitors (2018)
Journal Article

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars with low abundances of neutron capture elements (CEMP-no stars) are ubiquitous among metal-poor stars in the Milky Way. Recent observations have uncovered their two subgroups that differ in the carbon to magnes... Read More about The chemical imprint of the bursty nature of Milky Way's progenitors.

The rapid growth phase of supermassive black holes (2018)
Journal Article
McAlpine, S., Bower, R. G., Rosario, D. J., Crain, R. A., Schaye, J., & Theuns, T. (2018). The rapid growth phase of supermassive black holes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(3), 3118-3128. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2489

We investigate the rapid growth phase of supermassive black holes (BHs) within the hydrodynamical cosmological EAGLE simulation. This non-linear phase of BH growth occurs within ∼L* galaxies, embedded between two regulatory states of the galaxy host:... Read More about The rapid growth phase of supermassive black holes.

We present the first results from our survey of intervening and proximate Lyman limit systems (LLSs) at z ~ 2.0–2.5 using the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The quasars in our sample are projected pairs with proper transvers... Read More about The Spectral and Environment Properties of z ∼ 2.0–2.5 Quasar Pairs.

Evolution of LMC/M33-mass dwarf galaxies in the EAGLE simulation (2018)

We investigate the population of dwarf galaxies with stellar masses similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and M33 in the EAGLE galaxy formation simulation. In the field, galaxies reside in haloes with stellar-to-halo mass ratios of 1.03+0.50−0.... Read More about Evolution of LMC/M33-mass dwarf galaxies in the EAGLE simulation.

The massive stars that ionized the Universe have short lifetimes and can only be studied near the time of formation, but any low-mass stars that formed contemporaneously might be observable in the local Universe today. We study the abundance pattern... Read More about CEMPlifying reionization.
