VizieR Online Data Catalog: Massive discs in cosmological simulations (Marasco+, 2020)

We build our simulated galaxy sample using two suites of very well-known, publicly available cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation in the {LAMBDA}CDM framework: EAGLE and IllustrisTNG. Both simulation suites follow selfconsistently the formation and evolution of galaxies and of their environments, and include treatments for star formation, stellar evolution, black-hole accretion, feedback from supernovae and AGN, primordial and metal-line gas cooling and, in the case of IllustrisTNG, the amplification and evolution of seed magnetic fields. The parameters of both models are calibrated to output a 'realistic' population of galaxies at z=0 in terms of their number densities, sizes, central black-hole masses and star formation rates.
