Hydrodynamical simulations of the galaxy population: enduring successes and outstanding challenges

RA Crain, F van de Voort - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
We review the progress in modeling the galaxy population in hydrodynamical simulations of
the ΛCDM cosmogony. State-of-the-art simulations now broadly reproduce the observed …

Early galaxy formation and its large-scale effects

P Dayal, A Ferrara - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Galaxy formation is at the heart of our understanding of cosmic evolution. Although there is a
consensus that galaxies emerged from the expanding matter background by gravitational …

LyC escape from sphinx galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization

We measure escape fractions, f esc, of ionizing radiation from galaxies in the sphinx suite of
cosmological radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of reionization, resolving haloes with …

Rapid reionization by the oligarchs: the case for massive, UV-bright, star-forming galaxies with high escape fractions

RP Naidu, S Tacchella, CA Mason, S Bose… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The protagonists of the last great phase transition of the universe—cosmic reionization—
remain elusive. Faint star-forming galaxies are leading candidates because they are found …

The synchrony of production and escape: half the bright Lyα emitters at z ≈ 2 have Lyman continuum escape fractions ≈50

The ionizing photon escape fraction [Lyman continuum (LyC) f esc] of star-forming galaxies
is the single greatest unknown in the reionization budget. Stochastic sightline effects prohibit …

The evolution of the intergalactic medium

M McQuinn - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The bulk of cosmic matter resides in a dilute reservoir that fills the space between galaxies,
the intergalactic medium (IGM). The history of this reservoir is intimately tied to the cosmic …
