One especially nice result from @swiftsimulation.bsky.social -based simulations run by students attending the Ex-Gal galaxy simulation summer school in Durham last week.

Using the SWIFT code!
The first paper (arxiv.org/abs/2508.21126) presenting our new set of galaxy formation simulations is now out!

This is the culmination of years of work by a large team.

The COLIBRE project will hopefully be a new milestone in the physics included in large-scale galaxy simulations.

(Sound on!)
