Over the course of the simulation, the gas particles record some information Over the course of the simulation, the gas particles record some information
about their evolution. These are updated for a given particle every time it is about their evolution. These are updated for a given particle every time it is
active. The EAGLE tracers module is located in the directory active. The EAGLE tracers module is located in the directory
``src/tracers/EAGLE``. ``src/tracers/EAGLE/``.
In the EAGLE model, we trace the maximal tempearature a particle has reached and
the time at which this happened. When a star is formed (see the section
:ref:`EAGLE_star_formation` below), it inherits all the tracer values of its parent
gas particle. There are no parameters to the model but two values are added to
the snapshots for each gas and star particle:
