The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. V. Satellite Galaxy Populations in a Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-Mass Halo

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi

We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at z similar to 2 in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a 1012 M circle dot target halo (z = 0 mass) carried out on eight widely used astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ra ...

Swift : a modern highly parallel gravity and smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for astrophysical and cosmological applications

Yves Revaz, Matthieu Schaller, Loïc Hausammann, Mladen Ivkovic, Zhen Xiang

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IV. Halo and Galaxy Mass Assembly in a Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation at z ≤ 2

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann

In this fourth paper from the AGORA Collaboration, we study the evolution down to redshift z = 2 and below of a set of cosmological zoom-in simulations of a Milky Way mass galaxy by eight of the leading hydrodynamic simulation codes. We also compare this C ...

Continuous Simulation Data Stream: A dynamical timescale-dependent output scheme for simulations

Matthieu Schaller, Loïc Hausammann

Exa-scale simulations are on the horizon but almost no new design for the output has been proposed in recent years. In simulations using individual time steps, the traditional snapshots are over resolving particles/cells with large time steps and are under ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III. Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-mass Halo

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi

We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to z = 4 of a 10(12) M (circle dot) halo at z = 0, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ramses, Changa, Gadget-3, Gear, and Gizmo) widely used ...

Towards Efficient and Accurate Numerical Simulations of Galaxies using Task-based Parallelism and Application to Dwarf Galaxies

Loïc Hausammann

Numerical simulations are of a tremendous help to understand the growth of non-linear cosmological structures and how they lead to the formation of galaxies. In recent years, with the goal of improving their prediction power, new hydrodynamical techniques ...

The impact of cored density profiles on the observable quantities of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, David Richard Harvey

We modify the chemo-dynamical code GEAR to simulate the impact of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the observable quantities of 19 low-mass dwarf galaxies with a variety star-forming properties. We employ a relatively high, velocity independent cross ...

Synthetic diagnostic for the beam emission spectroscopy diagnostic using a full optical integration

Loïc Hausammann

The beam emission spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic is used to measure fluctuations of electron density in the edge and core of fusion plasmas, and is a key in understanding turbulence in a plasma reactor. A synthetic BES diagnostic for the turbulence simulati ...

Kinetic simulations and reduced modeling of longitudinal sideband instabilities in non-linear electron plasma waves

Stephan Brunner, Loïc Hausammann

Kinetic Vlasov simulations of one-dimensional finite amplitude Electron Plasma Waves are performed in a multi-wavelength long system. A systematic study of the most unstable linear sideband mode, in particular its growth rate gamma and quasi- wavenumber de ...
