Projects

  • The AGORA Project

    The AGORA Project

    The Assembling Galaxies Of Resolved Anatomy (AGORA) project, introduced by Kim et al. (2014), aims to compare high-resolution galaxy formation simulations across different high-resolution numerical platforms. The numerical techniques and implementations used in this project include the smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes GADGET and GASOLINE, and the adaptive mesh refinement codes ART, ENZO, and RAMSES. The…

  • The Horizon Run 5

    The Horizon Run 5

    Horizon Run 5 (HR5, not to be mistaken with The Horizon Simulations), introduced by Lee et al. (2021) is a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation which captures the properties of the Universe on a Gpc scale while achieving a resolution of 1 kpc, aims to study the effect of large-scale perturbations on formation of galaxies and clusters.…

  • The DARWIN project

    The DARWIN project

    The DARWIN (DAzzling Realization of dWarf galaxies In the Next generation of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations) project aims at simulating the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies, a key probe for testing both the galaxy formation models and standard cosmology, with a high resolution based on state-of-the-art physical ingredients in a cosmological context. The DARWIN project…

  • The EDGE project

    The EDGE project

    The ‘Engineering Dwarfs at Galaxy Formation’s Edge’ (EDGE, Agertz et al. 2020) project aims to study the cosmological formation and evolution of the very smallest galaxies in the Universe. Website: https://edge-simulation.github.io/

  • The VINTERGATAN project

    The VINTERGATAN project

    The VINTERGATAN project (Milky Way in Swedish, lit. The Winter Street) is a cosmological zoom simulation of a Milky Way-mass disc galaxy (Agertz et al. 2021). Website: https://people.astro.unistra.fr/f.renaud/vintergatan.php

  • The CoDa Simulations

    The CoDa Simulations

    The Cosmic Dawn (CoDa, Ocvirk et al. 2016) simulation suite simulates how galaxies form during the Epoch of Reionization, how they drive reionization, and how the rising UV background during this period then impacts galaxy formation in return. They use the fully-coupled radiation-hydrodynamics code RAMSES-CUDATON to model a region of 64/h cMpc using up to…
