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?.

Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies (2011)
Journal Article
Lagos, C., Baugh, C., Lacey, C., Benson, A., Kim, H., & Power, C. (2011). Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 418(3), 1649-1667. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19583.x

We study the evolution of the cold gas content of galaxies by splitting the interstellar medium into its atomic and molecular hydrogen components, using the galaxy formation model GALFORM in the Λ cold dark matter framework. We calculate the molecula... Read More about Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies.

Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe - II. Clustering of Extremely Red Objects (2011)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Perez, V., Baugh, C., Lacey, C., & Kim, J. (2011). Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe - II. Clustering of Extremely Red Objects. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 417(1), 517-531. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19294.x

We present predictions for the clustering of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in a Λ cold dark matter universe, using a semi-analytical galaxy formation model in combination with a cosmological N-body simulation. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed a... Read More about Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe - II. Clustering of Extremely Red Objects.

On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation (2011)
Journal Article
Lagos, C., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Bower, R., & Benson, A. (2011). On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 416(2), 1566-1584. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19160.x

We investigate the consequences of applying different star formation laws in the galaxy formation model GALFORM. Three broad star formation laws are implemented: the empirical relations of Kennicutt and Schmidt and Blitz & Rosolowsky and the theoreti...
