Galaxy formation using halo merger histories taken from N-body simulations (2003)
Journal Article
Helly, J., Cole, S., Frenk, C., Baugh, C., Benson, A., & Lacey, C. (2003). Galaxy formation using halo merger histories taken from N-body simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 338(4), 903-912. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06151.x

We develop a hybrid galaxy formation model that uses outputs from an N-body simulation to follow the merger histories (or ‘merger trees’) of dark matter haloes and treats baryonic processes, such as the cooling of gas within haloes and subsequent sta...

A comparison of gas dynamics in smooth particle hydrodynamics and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation (2003)
Journal Article
Helly, J., Cole, S., Frenk, C., Baugh, C., Benson, A., Lacey, C., & Pearce, F. (2003). A comparison of gas dynamics in smooth particle hydrodynamics and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 338(4), 913-925. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06152.x

We compare the results of two techniques used to calculate the evolution of cooling gas during galaxy formation: smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations and semi-analytic modelling. We improve upon the earlier statistical comparison of Benson... Read More about A comparison of gas dynamics in smooth particle hydrodynamics and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation.
