We introduce the public version of the cosmological magnetohydrodynamical moving-mesh simulation code Arepo. This version contains a finite-volume magnetohydrodynamics algorithm on an unstructured, dynamic Voronoi tessellation coupled to a tree-particle-mesh algorithm for the Poisson equation either on a Newtonian or cosmologically expanding spacetime. Time-integration is performed adopting local timestep constraints for each cell individually, solving the fluxes only across active interfaces, and calculating gravitational forces only between active particles, using an operator-splitting approach. This allows simulations with high dynamic range to be performed efficiently. Arepo is a massively distributed-memory parallel code, using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication standard and employing a dynamical work-load and memory balancing scheme to allow optimal use of multi-node parallel computers. The employed parallelization algorithms of Arepo are deterministic and produce binary-identical results when re-run on the same machine and with the same number of MPI ranks. A simple primordial cooling and star formation model is included as an example of sub-resolution models commonly used in simulations of galaxy formation. Arepo also contains a suite of computationally inexpensive test problems, ranging from idealized tests for automated code verification to scaled-down versions of cosmological galaxy formation simulations, and is extensively documented in order to assist adoption of the code by new scientific users.

  1. CRexit observed: probing cosmic ray transport in the circumgalactic medium with absorption line spectra

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Efficient cosmic-ray transport in CR-pressure-dominated CGM simulations produces stronger cool-gas absorption (MgII, SiII) and covering fractions matching star-forming galaxies, while slow transport underproduces them.

  2. A Novel Implementation of Self-Interacting Dark Matter in AREPO

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    A dedicated-tree Monte-Carlo SIDM module in AREPO-2 conserves energy/momentum under multiple scatters, supports velocity-dependent and inelastic models, and runs with only modest overhead versus CDM except in late cor...

  3. An (in)complete NIRSpec census of Balmer absorption in Type 1 AGN -- radiation-driven outflows in little red dots, quasars and variable stars

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    About 44% of little red dots have hydrogen-alpha absorption from outflowing gas, implying radiatively driven outflows rather than static atmospheres.

  4. Evaluating the flexibility of the MillenniumTNG galaxy formation model with multi-zoom re-simulations

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A parameter combination of the MillenniumTNG galaxy-formation model is found that reproduces the observed galaxy stellar-mass function and the lower gas fractions measured in groups and clusters, showing the model is ...

  5. Fast(er)PM and Moving Mesh: JAX-native Geometric Multigrid Methods

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Warm-started Chebyshev geometric multigrid is competitive with distributed FFTs for FastPM and enables a differentiable moving-mesh particle–mesh gravity solver in JAX.

  6. Uncertainty-Aware Deep Learning for the Ly$\alpha$ Forest: CNN-Based Absorber Detection and Characterization

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    A sliding-window CNN recovers Lyα absorber locations and Voigt parameters from spectra, reproducing CDDF and b–N relations on mocks and, more weakly, on UVES data.
