Galaxy Formation and Cluster Formation [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988 A primary motivation for studying globular clusters is that, as the oldest known galactic fossils, they trace the earliest stages of galactic evolution; indeed, they may hold the key to understanding galaxy formation. Thus it is clearly of great importance to learn how to read the fossil record. To do this, we need to understand something about how the

The Epoch of Galaxy Formation [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1978 Unfortunately, there is as yet no direct observation of a forming galaxy, nor of a manifestly “young” galaxy. It is not even clear what such galaxies might look like. There are, however, some lines of attack that will yield indirect information about the environment in which galaxies formed.

A New Stellar Mass Proxy for Subhalo Abundance Matching
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) has played an important role in improving our understanding of how galaxies populate their host dark matter halos.

, 2013 Many approaches to obtaining cosmological constraints rely on the connection between galaxies and dark matter. However, the distribution of galaxies is dependent on their formation and evolution as well as the cosmological model, and galaxy formation is ...

The time-evolution of bias [PDF]
, 1998 We study the evolution of the bias factor b and the mass-galaxy correlation coefficient r in a simple analytic model for galaxy formation and the gravitational growth of clustering. The model shows that b and r can be strongly time-dependent, but tend to

A LAW FOR STAR FORMATION IN GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We study the galactic-scale triggering of star formation. We find that the largest mass-scale not stabilized by rotation, a well defined quantity in a rotating system and with clear dynamical meaning, strongly correlates with the star formation rate in a wide range of galaxies.

The impact of galaxy formation on the total mass, mass profile and abundance of haloes [PDF]
, 2014 We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate how the inclusion of physical processes relevant to galaxy formation (star formation, metal-line cooling, stellar winds, supernovae and feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei, AGN) change the ...

PAC. V. The Roles of Mass and Environment in the Quenching of Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalThe roles that mass and environment play in galaxy quenching are still under debate. Leveraging the Photometric objects Around Cosmic webs method, we analyze the excess surface distribution ${\bar{n}}_{2}{w}_{{\rm{p}}}({r}_{{\rm{p}}})$ of photometric ...

Downsizing of Star-Forming Galaxies by Gravitational Processes
, 2006 There is observed a trend that a lower mass galaxy forms stars at a later epoch. This downsizing of star-forming galaxies has been attributed to hydrodynamical or radiative feedback processes that regulate star formation.
