The Sherwood simulation suite: overview and data comparisons with the Lyman-α forest at redshifts 2≤z≤5

We introduce a new set of large-scale, high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium: the Sherwood simulation suite. These are performed in volumes of 103–1603h−3 comoving Mpc3, span almost four orders of magnitude in mass resolution with up to 17.2 billion particles, and em...
