Introduction¶
SAGE is a publicly available code-base for modelling galaxy formation in a
cosmological context. A description of the model and its default calibration
results can be found in Croton et al. (2016).
SAGE is a significant update to that previously used in Croton et al. (2006).
SAGE is written in C and was built to be modular and customisable.
It will run on any N-body simulation whose trees are organised in a supported format and contain a minimum set of basic halo properties.
For testing purposes, treefiles for the mini-Millennium Simulation are available
here.
Galaxy formation models built using SAGE on the Millennium, Bolshoi and simulations can be downloaded at the
Theoretical Astrophysical Observatory (TAO). You can also find SAGE on ascl.net.
