Abstract
Building on the initial results of the nIFTy simulated galaxy cluster comparison, we compare
and contrast the impact of baryonic physics with a single massive galaxy cluster, run with 11
state-of-the-art codes, spanning adaptive mesh, moving mesh, classic and modern smoothed
particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approaches. For each code represented we have a dark-matteronly
(DM) and non-radiative (NR) version of the cluster, as well as a full physics (FP) version
for a subset of the codes. We compare both radial mass and kinematic profiles, as well as
global measures of the cluster (e.g. concentration, spin, shape), in the NR and FP runs with
that in the DM runs. Our analysis reveals good consistency (<≈
20 per cent) between global
properties of the cluster predicted by different codes when integrated quantities are measured
within the virial radius R200. However, we see larger differences for quantities within R2500,
especially in the FP runs. The radial profiles reveal a diversity, especially in the cluster centre,
between the NR runs, which can be understood straightforwardly from the division of codes
into classic SPH and non-classic SPH (including the modern SPH, adaptive and moving mesh
codes); and between the FP runs, which can also be understood broadly from the division
of codes into those that include active galactic nucleus feedback and those that do not. The
variation with respect to the median is much larger in the FP runs with different baryonic
physics prescriptions than in the NR runs with different hydrodynamics solvers.
