Notes. The three blocks respectively recap the cosmological parameters, general simulation parameters, and baryonic physics, including models for feedback and star formation. (α)Initial mass particle. (β)Minimal number of particles for a galaxy to be found. (γ)Galaxy stellar mass completeness based on the initial stellar mass particle and the minimum number of particles used by the galaxy finder. (δ)Donnari et al. (2019), Pillepich et al. (2019).
