Summary

We present the Feedback Acting on Baryons in Large-scale Environments suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies, groups, and clusters. The simulations use the arepo moving-mesh code with a set of physical models for galaxy formation based on the successful Illustris simulation, but with updated active galactic nucleus (AGN) and supernovae feedback models. This allows us to simultaneously reproduce the observed redshift evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function together with the stellar and gas mass fractions of local groups and clusters across a wide range of halo masses. Focusing on the properties of groups and clusters, we find very good agreement with a range of observed scaling relations, including the X-ray luminosity–total mass and gas mass relations as well as
