Abstract

We introduce the Illustris Project, a series of large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. The highest resolution simulation, Illustris-1, covers a volume of (106.5舁Mpc)3, has a dark mass resolution of 6.26 × 106舁M⊙, and an initial baryonic matter mass resolution of 1.26 × 106舁M⊙. A...
