Raw simulation snapshot data (temporarily unavailable. data release coming soon.)

From the links below, one can download the redshift zero snapshots of the 6 high resolution (level 3) Auriga simulations (presented in Grand et al. 2018). Each snapshot is several GB in size, and has already been rotated such that the main galaxy is aligned with the coordinate system, for which the convention is (Z, Y, X).

Each snapshot contains data such as positions, velocities, masses etc. for all the material inside the virial radius of the main halo. The are stored in the following data types:

  • gas cells (PartType0)
  • high-resolution dark matter particles (PartType1)
  • star particles (PartType4, GFM_StellarFormationTime> 0)
  • wind particles (PartType4, GFM_StellarFormationTime lt 0)
  • black holes (PartType5)

Properties of the neutral hydrogen discs

A table listing the properties of HI discs in the Auriga simulations, such as their masses, sizes, and thicknesses (adapted from Marinacci et al. 2017) can be downloaded via this link.
