The properties of the first galaxies in the BlueTides simulation
The properties of the first galaxies in the BlueTides simulation
We employ the very large cosmological hydrodynamical simulation BLUETIDES to investigate the predicted properties of the galaxy population during the epoch of reionisation ($z>8$). BLUETIDES has a resolution and volume ($(400/h\approx 577)^{3}\,{\rm cMpc^3}$) providing a population of galaxies which is well matched to depth and area of current observational surveys …
