We use the halo occupation distribution (HOD) framework to characterize the predictions from two independent galaxy formation models for the galactic content of dark matter haloes and its evolution with redshift. Our galaxy samples correspond to a ra... Read More about The evolution of the galaxy content of dark matter haloes.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 462(4), 4451-4463. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1602

Galaxies and their dark matter haloes are part of a complex network of mass structures, collectively called the cosmic web. Using the tidal tensor prescription these structures can be classified into four cosmic environments: voids, sheets, filaments...

Measuring galaxy environment with the synergy of future photometric and spectroscopic surveys (2016)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 462(2), 1786-1801. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1729

We exploit the synergy between low-resolution spectroscopy and photometric redshifts to study environmental effects on galaxy evolution in slitless spectroscopic surveys from space. As a test case, we consider the future Euclid Deep survey (∼40 deg2)... Read More about Measuring galaxy environment with the synergy of future photometric and spectroscopic surveys.
