abstract

We present the Feedback Acting on Baryons in Large-scale Environments (FABLE) suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies, groups and clusters. The simulations use the AREPO moving-mesh code with a set of physical models for galaxy formation based on the successful Illustris simulation, but with updated AGN and supernovae feedback models. This allows us to simultaneously reproduce the observed redshift evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function together with the stellar and gas mass fractions of local groups and clusters across a wide range of halo masses. Focusing on the properties of groups and clusters, we find very good agreement with a range of observed scaling relations, including the X-ray luminosity--total mass and gas mass relations as well as the total mass--temperature and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich flux--mass relations. Careful comparison of our results with scaling relations based on X-ray hydrostatic masses as opposed to weak lensing-derived masses reveals some discrepancies, which hint towards a non-negligible X-ray mass bias in observed samples. We further show that radial profiles of density, pressure and temperature of the simulated intracluster medium are in very good agreement with observations, in particular for $r > 0.3\ r_{500}$. In the innermost regions however we find too large entropy cores, which indicates that a more sophisticated modelling of the physics of AGN feedback may be required to accurately reproduce the observed populations of cool-core and non-cool-core clusters.

  1. Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$

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

    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.

  2. FLAMINGO: The thermal history of the Universe from tSZ effect cross-correlations and its dependencies on cosmology and baryon physics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    tSZ cross-correlations with large-scale structure tracers prefer low S8 and strong baryonic feedback, yielding S8 = 0.72 and low group baryon fraction in FLAMINGO simulations.

  3. Time-Dependent Cosmic Ray Halos from Bursty Star Formation and Active Galactic Nuclei: Semi-Analytic Formalism and Galaxy Formation Implications

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Time-dependent injection from bursty star formation or episodic black hole accretion substantially modifies cosmic ray pressure profiles in massive galaxy halos, flattening them at large radii relative to steady-state...

  4. Red, hot, and very metal poor: extreme properties of a massive accreting black hole in the first 500 Myr

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A compact galaxy at z=8.63 hosts a 100-million-solar-mass accreting black hole with broad H-beta, high-ionization UV lines, and very low metallicity.

  5. Reading Between the Lines: Forward Modeling Dust, Continuum, and Spectral Cleaning for Multi-Line Intensity Mapping

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a SAM-based mock, multi-line intensity-mapping cross-power spectra show dust acts as a line-pair- and redshift-dependent suppression, and PCA cleaning with about 20 modes best balances line recovery against cont...

  6. Columba: isolated dwarf galaxy populations in diverse cosmological environments simulated with a cold interstellar medium

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New hydrodynamical simulations show that dwarf galaxy stellar mass-halo mass relations and star formation histories are more influenced by host halo concentration than by the 5 cMpc scale environment.

  7. Revisiting the 'Lensing is Low' Problem with UNIONS

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New UNIONS galaxy-galaxy lensing data around CMASS galaxies indicates no significant lensing is low problem, with joint HOD fits to GGL and GC favoring a slightly lower matter power spectrum amplitude than Planck.
