What Drives the H i Content of Central Galaxies—A Comparison between Hydrodynamic Simulations and Observations Using Random Forest by Xiao Li, Cheng Li, H. J. Mo

“…Although neither simulation can fully reproduce the feature importance obtained for real galaxies in the xGASS, EAGLE performs better than TNG in the sense that the observationally top-ranked property, u  −  r , is also highly ranked in EAGLE. This result implies that stellar feedback plays a more dominant role than AGN feedback in driving the H i gas content of low-redshift galaxies.…”
