Large-scale dark matter simulations
We review the field of collisionless numerical simulations for the large-scale structure of the
Universe. We start by providing the main set of equations solved by these simulations and …

FLAMINGO: calibrating large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations with machine learning
To fully take advantage of the data provided by large-scale structure surveys, we need to
quantify the potential impact of baryonic effects, such as feedback from active galactic nuclei …

Galacticus: a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation
AJ Benson - New Astronomy, 2012 - Elsevier
We describe a new, free and open source semi-analytic model of galaxy formation,
Galacticus. The Galacticus model was designed to be highly modular to facilitate expansion …
