The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation (2016)
Journal Article
van de Voort, F., Bahé, Y., Bower, R., Correa, C., Crain, R., Schaye, J., & Theuns, T. (2017). The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 466(3), 3460-3471. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw3356Galaxies that have fallen into massive haloes may no longer be able to accrete gas from their surroundings: a process referred to as ‘starvation’ or ‘strangulation’ of satellites. We study the environmental dependence of gas accretion on to galaxies... Read More about The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation.
Constraints on galaxy formation models from the galaxy stellar mass function and its evolution (2016)
Journal Article
Rodrigues, L. F. S., Vernon, I., & Bower, R. G. (2017). Constraints on galaxy formation models from the galaxy stellar mass function and its evolution. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 466(2), 2418-2435. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw3269We explore the parameter space of the semi-analytic galaxy formation model GALFORM, studying the constraints imposed by measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) and its evolution. We use the Bayesian emulator method to quickly eliminat... Read More about Constraints on galaxy formation models from the galaxy stellar mass function and its evolution.
HST Hα grism spectroscopy of ROLES: a flatter low-mass slope for the z ˜ 1 SSFR-mass relation (2016)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 466(3), 3143-3160. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw3262We present measurements of star formation rates (SFRs) for dwarf galaxies (M* ∼ 108.5 M⊙ M⊙) at z ∼ 1 using near-infrared slitless spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) by targeting and measuring the luminosity of the Hα emission line. O... Read More about HST Hα grism spectroscopy of ROLES: a flatter low-mass slope for the z ˜ 1 SSFR-mass relation.

Astrophysical Journal, 832(2), Article 198. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/832/2/198Stellar population synthesis models can now reproduce the photometry of old stellar systems (age > 2 Gyr) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands at 3.4 and 4.6μm (WISE W1 & W2 or IRAC 1 & 2). In this paper we derive stellar mass-to-light ratios for these a... Read More about Being WISE II: Reducing the Influence of Star formation History on the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Quiescent Galaxies.
The origin of scatter in the stellar mass-halo mass relation of central galaxies in the EAGLE simulation (2016)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(2), 2381-2396. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2884We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to study the magnitude and origin of the scatter in the stellar mass–halo mass relation for central galaxies. We separate cause and effect by correlating stellar masses in the baryonic simulation with halo p...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 722-738. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2740We present the evolution of galaxy sizes, from redshift 2 to 0, for actively star forming and passive galaxies in the cosmological hydrodynamical 1003 cMpc3 simulation of the EAGLE project. We find that the sizes increase with stellar mass, but that... Read More about Size evolution of normal and compact galaxies in the EAGLE simulation.
The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end (2016)
Journal Article

The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 32-44. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2735Galaxies fall into two clearly distinct types: ‘blue-sequence’ galaxies which are rapidly forming young stars, and ‘red-sequence’ galaxies in which star formation has almost completely ceased. Most galaxies more massive than 3 × 1010 M⊙ follow the re... Read More about The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end.
Size matters: abundance matching, galaxy sizes, and the Tully-Fisher relation in EAGLE (2016)

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 464(4), 4736-4746. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2691The Tully–Fisher relation (TFR) links the stellar mass of a disc galaxy, Mstr, to its rotation speed: it is well approximated by a power law, shows little scatter, and evolves weakly with redshift. The relation has been interpreted as reflecting the... Read More about Size matters: abundance matching, galaxy sizes, and the Tully-Fisher relation in EAGLE.
