The VINTERGATAN project

Cosmological zoom simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy.
(Vintergatan is the Swedish word for Milky Way, literally The Winter Street)

Papers using the original VINTERGATAN simulation:

Agertz et al. (2021): VINTERGATAN I: The origins of chemically, kinematically and structurally distinct discs in a simulated Milky Way-mass galaxy
Renaud et al. (2021): VINTERGATAN II: the history of the Milky Way told by its mergers
Renaud et al. (2021): VINTERGATAN III: how to reset the metallicity of the Milky Way
Segovia Otero, Renaud & Agertz (2022): VINTERGATAN IV: Cosmic phases of star formation in Milky Way-like galaxies
Renaud, Segovia Otero & Agertz (2022): The merger-starburst connection across cosmic times

The VINTERGATAN offspring: a complementary suite of simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies.

Rey et al. (2023): VINTERGATAN-GM: The cosmological imprints of early mergers on Milky-Way-mass galaxies
