Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation
read the original abstract
Over the last decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental for advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These simulations follow the non-linear evolution of galaxies modeling a variety of physical processes over an enormous range of scales. A better understanding of the physics relevant for shaping galaxies, improved numerical methods, and increased computing power have led to simulations that can reproduce a large number of observed galaxy properties. Modern simulations model dark matter, dark energy, and ordinary matter in an expanding space-time starting from well-defined initial conditions. The modeling of ordinary matter is most challenging due to the large array of physical processes affecting this matter component. Cosmological simulations have also proven useful to study alternative cosmological models and their impact on the galaxy population. This review presents a concise overview of the methodology of cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and their different applications.

The COLIBRE-SKIRT pipeline: Calibration-free dust radiative transfer postprocessing for cosmological simulations
The COLIBRE-SKIRT pipeline reproduces the observed low-redshift cosmic SED without calibrating the post-processing, using live dust from the simulation and a new 'split & scale' grain-size mapping.

Non-Equilibrium Relativistic Core Collapse of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos -- Limits On Seed Black Hole Mass
Non-equilibrium relativistic SIDM halo collapse produces seed black holes of mass ~3e-8 of the halo mass at apparent horizon formation.

Probing the fate of large primordial perturbations with exoplanets
Observed ultra-wide exoplanets already constrain the amplitude and scale of primordial power-spectrum peaks that produce ultra-compact minihalos, with misalignment signatures as a future probe.

Direct shear $\times$ kSZ correlation: controlling baryons without modeling galaxies
A shear×velocity kSZ template cross-correlated with the CMB is forecast to measure the electron–matter power spectrum to few-percent (ACT/SO) or sub-percent (CMB-HD) precision.

Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$
In z≈6 quasar simulations, super-Eddington black-hole growth clears escape channels, ejects cold clumps that raise neutral-hydrogen covering, and powers extended Hα nebulae that shrink when the quasar is obscured.

mitigating the overcooling problem with sink-based bursty star formation in a high-z dwarf galaxy
Sink-based star formation drives clump-scale bursts that pre-clear gas via radiation, raise SN momentum, cut stellar mass by ~3× and raise LyC escape by ~10× relative to a gravo-thermo-turbulent Schmidt model in a 10^...

Non-Equilibrium Ionisation in Photoionised Haloes: Implications for Shock Stability and Absorption-Line Signatures
UV background suppresses NEI in galaxy haloes, restoring equilibrium shock thresholds and producing extended absorption columns for OVI, CIV, and HI beyond the virial radius.

Secondary Dependence of Baryonic Effects on the Density Profile of Dark Matter Halos
Baryonic effects on dark matter halo density profiles exhibit strong secondary dependence on concentration (up to 15% variations at small scales for lower-mass halos) and weaker dependence on large-scale environment (~2%).
