The IllustrisTNG simulations: public data release

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: a tale of two elements – chemical evolution of magnesium and europium

The distribution of elements in galaxies provides a wealth of information about their production sites and their subsequent mixing into the interstellar medium. Here we investig...

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: radio haloes and magnetic fields

We introduce the IllustrisTNG project, a new suite of cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations performed with the moving-mesh code AREPO employing an updated Illustris gal...

FIRE-2 simulations: physics versus numerics in galaxy formation

I discuss how hydrodynamical simulations enable exploring nonlinear couplings amongst different physical processes in galaxy formation. I focus on three topics: the effect of ba...
