Description
Sub-millimetre galaxies, discovered 25 years ago, remain among the most enigmatic class of objects in the Universe. Historically they have been highly challenging to reproduce in cosmologically-situated models without radical assumptions. Our Simba simulations are arguably the most successful model hydrodynamic model at reproducing the number counts of SMGs (Lovell et al 2001). In this talk I will present new results from follow-up work that explores the physical properties and evolution of SMGs, including addressing questions such as what evolutionary history results in a massive early galaxy becoming an SMG, how often are they triggered by major mergers, and where are the descendants of SMGs today?
