Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

In recent decades, several detector technologies have been developed with the quest to
directly detect dark matter interactions and to test one of the most important unsolved …

Abstract We introduce the Virgo Consortium's Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their
Environments (EAGLE) project, a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the …

Many aspects of the large-scale structure of the Universe can be described successfully
using cosmological models in which 27±1% of the critical mass-energy density consists of …

We present a model for star formation and supernova feedback that describes the
multiphase structure of star-forming gas on scales that are typically not resolved in …

We have performed the largest ever particle simulation of a Milky Way sized dark matter
halo, and present the most comprehensive convergence study for an individual dark matter …

We present an evolutionary model for starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies in which
mergers between gas-rich galaxies drive nuclear inflows of gas, producing starbursts and …

We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the three-
dimensional correlation function of the transmitted flux fraction in the Lyα forest of high …

We study the evolution of the ionization state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at the end of
the reionization epoch using moderate-resolution spectra of a sample of 19 quasars at 5.74< …

The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transformation of the universe from its
smooth initial state to its clumpy current state. In popular cosmological models, the first …
