What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies? (2003)
Journal Article
Benson, A., Bower, R., Frenk, C., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., & Cole, S. (2003). What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies?. Astrophysical Journal, 599(1), 38-49. https://doi.org/10.1086/379160

We investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function of galaxies in hierarchical clustering models. Beginning with the mass function of dark matter halos in the CDM ( cold dark matter) cosmology, we show, in incremental steps, ho... Read More about What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies?.

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe (2003)
Journal Article
Hawkins, E., Maddox, S., Cole, S., Lahav, O., Madgwick, D., Norberg, P., …Taylor, K. (2003). The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 346(1), 78-96. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2966.2003.07063.x

We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, ξ(σ, π), from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The large size of the catalogue, which contains ∼220 000 redshifts, allows us to make high-precision measurements of various...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type (2003)
Journal Article
Madgwick, D., Hawkins, E., Lahav, O., Maddox, S., Norberg, P., Peacock, J., …Taylor, K. (2003). The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 344(3), 847-856. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06861.x

We have calculated the two-point correlation functions in redshift space, ξ(σ, π), for galaxies of different spectral types in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using these correlation functions, we are able to estimate values of the linear redshift-sp... Read More about The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type.

The halo occupation distribution and the physics of galaxy formation (2003)
Journal Article
Berlind, A., Weinberg, D., Benson, A., Baugh, C., Cole, S., Davé, R., …Lacey, C. (2003). The halo occupation distribution and the physics of galaxy formation. Astrophysical Journal, 593(1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1086/376517

The halo occupation distribution (HOD) describes the bias between galaxies and dark matter by specifying (1) the probability P(N|M) that a halo of virial mass M contains N galaxies of a particular class and (2) the relative spatial and velocity distr...
