Reducing biases on H0 measurements using strong lensing and galaxy dynamics: results from the eagle simulation (2017)
Journal Article

Cosmological parameter constraints from observations of time-delay lenses are becoming increasingly precise. However, there may be significant bias and scatter in these measurements due to, among other things, the so-called mass-sheet degeneracy. To...

Tidal dwarf galaxies in cosmological simulations (2017)
Journal Article

The formation and evolution of gravitationally bound, star forming substructures in tidal tails of interacting galaxies, called tidal dwarf galaxies (TDG), has been studied, until now, only in idealized simulations of individual pairs of interacting...

Comparing galaxy formation in semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations (2017)
Journal Article

It is now possible for hydrodynamical simulations to reproduce a representative galaxy population. Accordingly, it is timely to assess critically some of the assumptions of traditional semi-analytic galaxy formation models. We use the EAGLE simulatio...

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: understanding observations of large-scale outflows at low redshift with EAGLE simulations (2017)
Journal Article

This work presents a study of galactic outflows driven by stellar feedback. We extract main-sequence disc galaxies with stellar mass 109 ≤ M⋆/ M⊙ ≤ 5.7 × 1010 at redshift z = 0 from the highest resolution cosmological simulation of the Evolution and...

The relation between galaxy morphology and colour in the EAGLE simulation (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the relation between kinematic morphology, intrinsic colour and stellar mass of galaxies in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We calculate the intrinsic u − r colours and measure the fraction of kinetic energy invested... Read More about The relation between galaxy morphology and colour in the EAGLE simulation.

The Cluster-EAGLE project: global properties of simulated clusters with resolved galaxies (2017)
Journal Article

We introduce the Cluster-EAGLE (C-EAGLE) simulation project, a set of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of 30 galaxy clusters in the mass range of 1014 < M200/M⊙ < 1015.4 that incorporates the Hydrangea sample of Bahé et a...

Baryon effects on void statistics in the EAGLE simulation (2017)
Journal Article

Cosmic voids are promising tools for cosmological tests due to their sensitivity to dark energy, modified gravity and alternative cosmological scenarios. Most previous studies in the literature of void properties use cosmological N-body simulations o... Read More about Baryon effects on void statistics in the EAGLE simulation.

Small-scale galaxy clustering in the eagle simulation (2017)
Journal Article

We study present-day galaxy clustering in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. EAGLE’s galaxy formation parameters were calibrated to reproduce the redshift z = 0.1 galaxy stellar mass function, and the simulation also reproduces galaxy...
