Resumen:
We measure the projected galaxy correlation function from the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation EAGLE (Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments). We compare the clustering of samples split by luminosity, stellar mass and star formation rate with results from the GAMA survey, with two semi-analytic galaxy formation models and with the hydrodynamical cosmological simulation Illustris. Our findings indicate that the galaxy clustering in EAGLE present a good level of agreement with GAMA and that differences in the clustering between EAGLE, Illustris and the semi-analtyic models provide key insight on the different galaxy formation physics implemented in the models.
