Simulations

The COLIBRE simulations and their properties are listed below.

Thermal AGN Feedback

The table below shows all the COLIBRE cosmological simulations run with thermal AGN feedback. The columns list the simulation identifier (where L is followed by the side length of the cubic simulation volume in comoving Mpc; m is followed by the rounded log10 of the mean particle mass in solar masses (for both baryons and DM); h indicates hybrid AGN feedback); the comoving box side length, L; the number of baryonic particles, Nb; the number of CDM particles, NCDM; the initial mean baryonic particle mass, mg; the mean CDM particle mass, mCDM; the Plummer-equivalent comoving gravitational softening length, εcom; the maximum proper gravitational softening length, εcom.

Dark matter only simulations

For each hydrodynamic simulation, there is a corresponding DMO simulation that uses the same initial phases and the same total number of particles. To create the initial conditions for the DMO simulation, baryonic particles from the corresponding hydrodynamic run were converted into CDM particles.
