The AGORA high-resolution galaxy simulations comparison project: Public
  data release
  As part of the AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project
(Kim et al. 2014, 2016) we have generated a suite of isolated Milky Way-mass
galaxy simulations using 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely
used in the numerical galaxy formation community. In these simulations we
adopted identical galactic disk initial conditions, and common physics models
(e.g., radiative cooling and ultraviolet background by a standardized package).
Subgrid physics models such as Jeans pressure floor, star formation, supernova
feedback energy, and metal production were carefully constrained. Here we
release the simulation data to be freely used by the community. In this release
we include the disk snapshots at 0 and 500Myr of evolution per each code as
used in Kim et al. (2016), from simulations with and without star formation and
feedback. We encourage any member of the numerical galaxy formation community
to make use of these resources for their research - for example, compare their
own simulations with the AGORA galaxies, with the common analysis yt scripts
used to obtain the plots shown in our papers, also available in this release.
