Journal Article
Lagos, C. D. P., Davis, T., Lacey, C., Zwaan, M., Baugh, C., Gonzalez-Perez, V., & Padilla, N. (2014). The origin of the atomic and molecular gas contents of early-type galaxies – I. A new test of galaxy formation physics. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 443(2), 1002-1021. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1209

We study the atomic (H I) and molecular hydrogen (H2) contents of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their gas sources using the GALFORM model of galaxy formation. This model uses a self-consistent calculation of the star formation rate, which depends on... Read More about The origin of the atomic and molecular gas contents of early-type galaxies – I.

Using the Milky Way satellites to study interactions between cold dark matter and radiation (2014)
Journal Article
Boehm, C., Schewtschenko, J., Wilkinson, R., Baugh, C., & Pascoli, S. (2014). Using the Milky Way satellites to study interactions between cold dark matter and radiation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 445(1), L31-L35. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slu115

The cold dark matter (CDM) model faces persistent challenges on small scales. In particular, the model significantly overestimates the number of satellite galaxies around the Milky Way. Attempts to solve this problem remain controversial and have eve... Read More about Using the Milky Way satellites to study interactions between cold dark matter and radiation.

Journal Article

We use the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) Phase I data to study the conditional luminosity function of far-IR (250 μm) selected galaxies in optically selected galaxy groups from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) spectr...

Modified gravity with massive neutrinos as a testable alternative cosmological model (2014)
Journal Article
Barreira, A., Li, B., Baugh, C., & Pascoli, S. (2014). Modified gravity with massive neutrinos as a testable alternative cosmological model. Physical Review D, 90(2), Article 023528. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.90.023528

We show that, in the presence of massive neutrinos, the Galileon gravity model provides a very good fit to the current cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature, CMB lensing and baryonic acoustic oscillation data. This model, which we dub νGalile... Read More about Modified gravity with massive neutrinos as a testable alternative cosmological model.

Extending the halo mass resolution of N-body simulations (2014)
Journal Article
Angulo, R., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., & Lacey, C. (2014). Extending the halo mass resolution of N-body simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 442(4), 3256-3265. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1084

We present a scheme to extend the halo mass resolution of dark matter N-body simulations. The method uses the simulated density field to predict the number of sub-resolution haloes expected in different regions, taking as input the abundance and the...

Astrophysical Journal, 788(2), Article 109. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/788/2/109

In tandem with observational data sets, we utilize realistic mock catalogs, based on a semi-analytic galaxy formation model, constructed specifically for Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Surveys to assess the performance of the Probability Friends-of-Friends...

Halo model and halo properties in Galileon gravity cosmologies (2014)
Journal Article

We investigate the performance of semi-analytical modelling of large-scale structure in Galileon gravity cosmologies using results from N-body simulations. We focus on the Cubic and Quartic Galileon models that provide a reasonable fit to CMB, SNIa a... Read More about Halo model and halo properties in Galileon gravity cosmologies.

Which galaxies dominate the neutral gas content of the Universe? (2014)
Journal Article
Lagos, C., Baugh, C., Zwaan, M., Lacey, C., Gonzalez-Perez, V., Power, C., …van Kampen, E. (2014). Which galaxies dominate the neutral gas content of the Universe?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 440(1), 920-941. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu266

We study the contribution of galaxies with different properties to the global densities of star formation rate (SFR), atomic (H I) and molecular hydrogen (H2) as a function of redshift. We use the GALFORM model of galaxy formation, which is set in th... Read More about Which galaxies dominate the neutral gas content of the Universe?.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 438(1), 825-840. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2245

We measure the angular clustering of 33 415 extremely red objects (EROs) in the Elais-N1 field covering 5.33 deg2, which cover the redshift range z = 0.8 to 2. This sample was made by merging the UKIDSS Deep eXtragalactic Survey (DXS) with the optica...
