Gas around galaxy haloes: methodology comparisons using hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium

We perform cosmological simulations of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift z ∼ 3 using the numerical gravity-hydrodynamics codes gadget-3 and enzo for the purpose of modelling the gaseous environments of galaxies. We identify haloes in the simulations using three different algorithms. Differe...
