Rhapsody-G simulations I: the cool cores, hot gas and stellar content of massive galaxy clusters

Understand

We present the Rhapsody-G suite of cosmological hydrodynamic AMR zoom simulations of ten massive galaxy clusters at the $M_{\rm vir}\sim10^{15}\,{\rm M}_\odot$ scale.

• These simulations include cooling and sub-resolution models for star formation and stellar and supermassive black hole feedback.
• The sample is selected to capture the whole gamut of assembly histories that produce clusters of similar final mass.
• We present an overview of the successes and shortcomings of such simulations in reproducing both the stellar properties of galaxies as well as properties of the hot plasma in clusters.
