The three phases of galaxy formation [PDF]

, 2017
We investigate the origin of the Hubble sequence by analysing the evolution of the kinematic morphologies of central galaxies in the EAGLE cosmological simulation.

Physical Models of Galaxy Formation in a Cosmological Framework [PDF]

, 2014
Modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context presents one of the greatest challenges in astrophysics today due to the vast range of scales and numerous physical processes involved.

Galaxy Populations in Groups and Clusters: Evidence for a Characteristic Stellar Mass Scale at M ∗ ∼ 109.5 M ⊙

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We use the DR9 of the DESI legacy imaging survey and SDSS galaxy groups to measure the conditional luminosity function (CLF) for groups with halo mass M _h ≥ 10 ^12 M _⊙ and redshift 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.08, down to a limiting r -band magnitude of M _r = −10 to −

Merger rates in hierarchical models of galaxy formation – II. Comparison with N-body simulations [PDF]

, 1994
We have made a detailed comparison of the results of N-body simulations with the analytical description of the merging histories of dark matter haloes presented in Lacey & Cole, which is based on an extension of the Press-Schechter method.

The influences of the Magellanic Clouds on the Galaxy: Pole shift, warp, and star formation history

, 2012
We investigate how the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) influences the evolution of the Galaxy after the LMC enters into the virial radius of the dark matter halo of the Galaxy for the first time.

Quasar induced galaxy formation: a new paradigm ? [PDF]

, 2009
We discuss observational evidence that quasars play a key role in the formation of galaxies starting from the detailed study of the quasar HE0450-2958 and extending the discussion to a series of converging evidence that radio jets may trigger galaxy ...

NIHAO project – I. Reproducing the inefficiency of galaxy formation across cosmic time with a large sample of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations [PDF]

, 2015
We introduce project NIHAO (Numerical Investigation of a Hundred Astrophysical Objects), a set of 100 cosmological zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations performed using the GASOLINE code, with an improved implementation of the SPH algorithm.

Galaxy Formation Spanning Cosmic History [PDF]

, 2010
Over the past several decades, galaxy formation theory has met with significant successes. In order to test current theories thoroughly we require predictions for as yet unprobed regimes.

A unified multiwavelength model of galaxy formation [PDF]

, 2015
We present a new version of the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. This brings together several previous developments of GALFORM into a single unified model, including a different initial mass function (IMF) in quiescent star formation ...

Observing Massive Galaxy Formation

, 2002
A major goal of contemporary astrophysics is understanding the origin of the most massive galaxies in the universe, particularly nearby ellipticals and spirals.
