Table 1. Corrected the definition of fiducial model parameter for stellar winds. We specify the mass loading parameter egyw (in
units of egy0w = 1.73 × 10−2 1051 erg M −1 ).

Variable Fiducial value Description

Stellar feedback (non-local energy-driven)

egyw /egy0w 1.09 Available SNII energy per formed stellar mass in units of [egy0w ]

Table 2. Changed summary of the different cosmological simulations. The stellar wind parameters are modified
following the change in Table 1.

Our paper ‘A model for cosmological simulations of galaxy for-
mation physics’ was published in MNRAS, 436, 4 (2013). The
definition of wind mass loading (egyw ) and correspondingly the
supernova SNII energy for driving stellar winds used in our fidu-
cial model was not stated correctly in the paper, while in all
simulations we did use the correct value. The correct value is
egyw /egy0w = 1.09 and not egyw /egy0w = 3. This implies that our
model assumes an energy of 1.09 × 1051 erg and not 3 × 1051 erg per
SNII. Tables 1 and 2 are corrected accordingly. All results, figures
and conclusions remain unchanged.
