Predictions for the intrinsic UV continuum properties of star-forming galaxies and the implications for inferring dust extinction (2012)
Journal Article
Wilkins, S., Gonzalez-Perez, V., Lacey, C., & Baugh, C. (2012). Predictions for the intrinsic UV continuum properties of star-forming galaxies and the implications for inferring dust extinction. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 424(2), 1522-1529. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21344.x

The observed ultraviolet continuum (UVC) slope is potentially a powerful diagnostic of dust obscuration in star-forming galaxies. However, the intrinsic slope is also sensitive to the form of the stellar initial mass function and to the recent star f...

The nature and descendants of Lyman-break galaxies in the Λ cold dark matter cosmology (2012)
Journal Article
González, J., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., & Benson, A. (2012). The nature and descendants of Lyman-break galaxies in the Λ cold dark matter cosmology. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 423(4), 3709-3726. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21167.x

We predict the formation histories, properties and descendants of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the Λ cold dark matter cosmology. In our model, which incorporates a top-heavy initial mass function in starbursts, we find that most LBGs are starbursts...

Testing dark energy using pairs of galaxies in redshift space (2012)
Journal Article
Jennings, E., Baugh, C., & Pascoli, S. (2012). Testing dark energy using pairs of galaxies in redshift space. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 420(2), 1079-1091. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.20064.x

The distribution of angles subtended between pairs of galaxies and the line of sight, which is uniform in real space, is distorted by their peculiar motions, and has been proposed as a probe of cosmic expansion. We test this idea using N-body simulat... Read More about Testing dark energy using pairs of galaxies in redshift space.

The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing? (2012)
Journal Article
Fanidakis, N., Baugh, C., Benson, A., Bower, R., Cole, S., Done, C., …del P. Lagos, C. (2012). The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 419(4), 2797-2820. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19931.x

We use a coupled model of the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes (BHs) to study the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in a cold dark matter universe. The model is embedded in the galaxy formation code GALFORM and predicts th... Read More about The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing?.
