Alignments between galaxies, satellite systems and haloes (2016)
Journal Article
Shao, S., Cautun, M., Frenk, C., Gao, L., Crain, R., Schaller, M., …Theuns, T. (2016). Alignments between galaxies, satellite systems and haloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(4), 3772-3782. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1247

The spatial distribution of the satellite populations of the Milky Way and Andromeda are puzzling in that they are nearly perpendicular to the discs of their central galaxies. To understand the origin of such configurations we study the alignment of... Read More about Alignments between galaxies, satellite systems and haloes.

The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method (2016)
Journal Article
Cautun, M., Cai, Y., & Frenk, C. (2016). The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(3), 2540-2553. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw154

We introduce a new method for stacking voids and deriving their profile that greatly increases the potential of voids as a tool for precision cosmology. Given that voids are distinctly non-spherical and have most of their mass at their edge, voids ar... Read More about The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method.

The Copernicus Complexio: a high-resolution view of the small-scale Universe (2016)
Journal Article
Hellwing, W., Frenk, C., Cautun, M., Bose, S., Helly, J., Jenkins, A., …Cytowski, M. (2016). The Copernicus Complexio: a high-resolution view of the small-scale Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(4), 3492-3509. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw214

We introduce Copernicus Complexio (COCO), a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of structure formation in the ΛCDM model. COCO follows an approximately spherical region of radius ∼17.4 h−1 Mpc embedded in a much larger periodic cube that i...
