Abstract
In this work, I investigate the properties of Lyman limit systems (LLSs)
using state-of-the-art zoom-in cosmological galaxy formation simulations with
on the fly radiative transfer, which includes both the cosmic UV background
(UVB) and local stellar sources. I compare the simulation results to
observations of the incidence frequency of LLSs and the HI column density
distribution function over the redshift range
