We introduce a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of galaxies in isolated Milky Way mass dark haloes. These were carried out with the moving mesh code \textlcsc{AREPO}, together with a…

We have carried out 1.25 pc resolution MHD simulations of the ISM, on a Cartesian grid of $0 \leq (x,y) \leq 1$ kpc size in the galactic plane and $-10 \leq z \leq 10$ kpc into the halo, thus being able to fully trace the time-dependent…
