We describe a major update to the public GIZMO code. GIZMO has been used in simulations of cosmology; galaxy and star formation and evolution; black hole accretion and feedback; proto-stellar disk dynamics and planet formation; fluid dynamics and plasma physics; dust-gas dynamics; giant impacts and solid-body interactions; collisionless gravitational dynamics; and more. This release of the public code supports: hydrodynamics (using various mesh-free finite-volume Godunov methods or SPH), ideal and non-ideal MHD, anisotropic conduction and viscosity, radiative cooling and chemistry, star and black hole formation and feedback, sink particles, dust-gas (aero)-dynamics (with or without magnetic fields), elastic/plastic dynamics, arbitrary (gas, stellar, degenerate, solid/liquid material) equations of state, passive scalar/turbulent diffusion, large-eddy and shearing boxes, self-gravity with fully-adaptive force softenings, arbitrary cosmological expansion, and on-the-fly group-finding. It is massively-parallel with hybrid MPI+OpenMP scaling verified up to >1 million threads. The code is extensively documented, with test problems and tutorials provided for these different physics modules.

  1. A Consistent Comparison of Intracluster Light Assembly in Simulations I. Redshift Evolution and Progenitor Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A homogenized ICL definition applied to Horizon-AGN, TNG100, Gizmo-Simba and Hydrangea yields consistent z=0 fractions of 0.1-0.2 with no significant redshift evolution and dominant contributions from satellites of 10...

  2. Galactic Amnesia: The Information Washout of the Milky Way Merger History

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Mutual information analysis of TNG50 simulations shows gravitational potential and total energy retain merger mass and infall time information longest, while radial velocity loses it within ~5 Gyr, with washout depend...

  3. Exploring the impact of AGN feedback model variations on the Lyman-$\alpha$ Forest Flux Power Spectrum

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Varying AGN feedback parameters shows that jet feedback from the most massive black holes suppresses the Lyman-alpha forest P1D unless it reduces the number of such black holes.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The OBSIDIAN simulation with its three-regime AGN feedback best reproduces the observed stellar masses, star formation rates, and ages of brightest group galaxies, unlike the other simulations which show mismatches in...
