Description
I will present the First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES), a series of cosmological zoom hydrodynamic simulations of the epoch of reionisation and beyond. FLARES has become one of the key theoretical comparison suites for the latest results from the James Webb Space Telescope, helping to explain some of the rarest, most extreme galaxies and environments given its unique simulation approach. I will present an overview of some of the key results from FLARES over the past 4 years, including forward modelled line emission, resolved UV to IR maps, size evolution, as well as predictions for evolved, passive populations up to z ~ 7. Finally, I will provide a look to the future of the FLARES collaboration, with particular focus on predictions for wide field surveys, such as Euclid.
