Semi-Analytic Galaxy Evolution (SAGE): Model Calibration and Basic Results

Understand

This paper describes a new publicly available codebase for modelling galaxy formation in a cosmological context, the "Semi-Analytic Galaxy Evolution" model, or SAGE for short.

• SAGE is a significant update to that used in Croton et al.
• (2006) and has been rebuilt to be modular and customisable.
• The model will run on any N-body simulation whose trees are organised in a supported format and contain a minimum set of basic halo properties.
