### Shape of dark matter haloes in the Illustris simulation: effects of baryons

• Physics
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2019
We study the effect of baryonic processes on the shapes of dark matter (DM) haloes from Illustris, a suite of hydrodynamical (Illustris) and DM-only (Illustris-Dark) cosmological simulations

### Cosmological baryon transfer in the simba simulations

• Physics
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2019
We present a framework for characterizing the large-scale movement of baryons relative to dark matter in cosmological simulations, requiring only the initial conditions and final state of the

### The early growth of supermassive black holes in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with constrained Gaussian realizations

• Physics
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2020
The paper examines the early growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with different BH seeding scenarios. Employing the constrained Gaussian realization,

### BlueTides simulation: establishing black hole−galaxy relations at high redshift

• Physics
• 2018
The scaling relations between the mass of supermassive black holes ($M_{\bullet}$) and host galaxy properties (stellar mass, $M_{\star}$, and velocity dispersion, $\sigma$), provide a link between

### Resolving cosmic structure formation with the Millennium-II simulation

• Physics
• 2009
We present the Millennium-II Simulation (MS-II), a very large N-body simulation of dark matter evolution in the concordance A cold dark matter (ACDM) cosmology. The MS-II assumes the same

### The formation of disc galaxies in high-resolution moving-mesh cosmological simulations

• Physics
• 2014
We present cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of eight Milky Way-sized haloes that have been previously studied with dark matter only in the Aquarius project. For the first time, we employ the

### FORMING REALISTIC LATE-TYPE SPIRALS IN A ΛCDM UNIVERSE: THE ERIS SIMULATION

• Physics
• 2011
Simulations of the formation of late-type spiral galaxies in a cold dark matter (ΛCDM) universe have traditionally failed to yield realistic candidates. Here we report a new cosmological

### Galaxies–intergalactic medium interaction calculation – I. Galaxy formation as a function of large-scale environment

• Physics
• 2009
[Abridged] We present the first results of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies to z=0 in spherical regions of radius ~20 Mpc/h drawn from the Millennium Simulation. The

### Moving mesh cosmology: tracing cosmological gas accretion

• Physics
• 2013
We investigate the nature of gas accretion onto haloes and galaxies at z=2 using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations run with the moving mesh code AREPO. Implementing a Monte Carlo tracer particle

### The MassiveBlack-II simulation: The evolution of haloes and galaxies to z ~ 0

• Physics
• 2015
We investigate the properties and clustering of halos, galaxies and blackholes to z = 0 in the high resolution hydrodynamical simulation MassiveBlack-II (MBII). MBII evolves a ΛCDM cosmology in a

### Scaling relations for galaxy clusters in the Millennium-XXL simulation

• Physics
• 2012
We present a very large high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation, the Millennium-XXL or MXXL, which uses 303 billion particles to represent the formation of dark matter structures throughout a

### DARK MATTER HALOS IN THE STANDARD COSMOLOGICAL MODEL: RESULTS FROM THE BOLSHOI SIMULATION

• Physics
• 2010
Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) is now the standard theory of structure formation in the universe. We present the first results from the new Bolshoi dissipationless cosmological ΛCDM simulation that
