We present results from 13 cosmological simulations that explore the parameter space of the
'Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments'(EAGLE) simulation project.
Four of the simulations follow the evolution of a periodic cube L= 50 cMpc on a side, and
each employs a different subgrid model of the energetic feedback associated with star
formation. The relevant parameters were adjusted so that the simulations each reproduce
the observed galaxy stellar mass function at z= 0.1. Three of the simulations fail to form disc�…

We investigate the evolution of galaxy masses and star formation rates in the Evolution and
Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment (eagle) simulations. These comprise a suite of
hydrodynamical simulations in a Λ cold dark matter cosmogony with subgrid models for
radiative cooling, star formation, stellar mass-loss and feedback from stars and accreting
black holes. The subgrid feedback was calibrated to reproduce the observed present-day
galaxy stellar mass function and galaxy sizes. Here, we demonstrate that the simulations�…
