EAGLE Public Data Release

Welcome to the EAGLE public data release.

Below we provide access to the EAGLE public database, which contains galaxy properties (such as masses, star formation rates, luminosites and metallicities), merger histories and images for more than 1,000,000 simulated galaxies extracted from multiple simulations of various box sizes, numerical resolutions and physical models. Additionally, we also provide access to the particle data for each of these simulations.

Access to both the database and particle data require only a single account, which you can register for below.

EAGLE galaxy database

If you already have an account, follow this link to access the data or you can register on the following webpage.

Documentation can be found on the database itself or in the galaxy catalogue release paper.

The python examples from the release paper are available here:

• To connect to the database directly via Python here
• Galaxy stellar mass function example here.

EAGLE particle data

If you already have an account, the particle data can be accessed from this link.

The documentation accompanying the particle data can be downloaded in the data release paper.

The Python examples from the release paper are available below:

• Reading a dataset (Section 4.1) here.
• Reading the snapshot header (Section 4.2) here.
• Reading dark matter mass (Section 4.3) here.
• Plotting the rotation curve of a galaxy (Section 4.4) here.
• Plotting the temperature-density relation for a galaxy (Section 4.5) here.
• The read_eagle() routine (Section 4.6) is available via git repository here.
• The example using read_eagle() to create the temperature-density relation for a galaxy (Section 4.6.1) can be found here.
