Chandra Detections of SCUBA Galaxies around High-z Radio Sources. (2003)
Journal Article
Smail, I., Scharf, C., Ivison, R., Stevens, J., Bower, R., & Dunlop, J. (2003). Chandra Detections of SCUBA Galaxies around High-z Radio Sources. Astrophysical Journal, 599(1), 86-91. https://doi.org/10.1086/379233

The most massive galaxies in the present-day universe are the giant elliptical galaxies found in the centers of rich clusters. These have old, coeval stellar populations, suggesting they formed at high redshift, and are expected to host supermassive...

What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies? (2003)
Journal Article
Benson, A., Bower, R., Frenk, C., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., & Cole, S. (2003). What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies?. Astrophysical Journal, 599(1), 38-49. https://doi.org/10.1086/379160

We investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function of galaxies in hierarchical clustering models. Beginning with the mass function of dark matter halos in the CDM ( cold dark matter) cosmology, we show, in incremental steps, ho... Read More about What shapes the luminosity function of galaxies?.

On the origin of intracluster entropy (2003)
Journal Article
Voit, G., Balogh, M., Bower, R., Lacey, C., & Bryan, G. (2003). On the origin of intracluster entropy. Astrophysical Journal, 593(1), 272-290. https://doi.org/10.1086/376499

The entropy distribution of the intracluster medium and the shape of its confining potential well completely determine the X-ray properties of a relaxed cluster of galaxies, motivating us to explore the origin of intracluster entropy and to describe...
