Introducing the Illustris Project: simulating the coevolution of dark and visible matter in the Universe

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 Mpc)[superscript 3], has a dark mass resolution of 6.26 × 10[superscript 6]M[subscript ⊙], and an initial baryonic mat...
