Small-scale galaxy clustering in the EAGLE simulation
  We study present-day galaxy clustering in the EAGLE cosmological
hydrodynamical simulation. EAGLE's galaxy formation parameters were calibrated
to reproduce the redshift $z=0.1$ galaxy stellar mass function, and the
simulation also reproduces galaxy colours well. The simulation volume is too
small to correctly sample large-scale fluctuations and we therefore concentrate
on scales smaller than a few mega parsecs. We find very good agreement with
observed clustering measurements from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA)
survey, when galaxies are binned by stellar mass, color, or luminosity.
However, low-mass red-galaxies are clustered too strongly, which is at least
partly due to limited numerical resolution. Apart from this limitation, we
conclude that EAGLE galaxies inhabit similar dark matter haloes as observed
GAMA galaxies, and that the radial distribution of satellite galaxies as
function of stellar mass and colour is similar to that observed as well.
