Achieving convergence in galaxy formation models by augmenting N-body merger trees (2016)
Journal Article
Benson, A., Cannella, C., & Cole, S. (2016). Achieving convergence in galaxy formation models by augmenting N-body merger trees. Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology, 3, Article 3. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40668-016-0016-3

Accurate modeling of galaxy formation in a hierarchical, cold dark matter universe requires the use of sufficiently high-resolution merger trees to obtain convergence in the predicted properties of galaxies. When semi-analytic galaxy formation models... Read More about Achieving convergence in galaxy formation models by augmenting N-body merger trees.

Galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation and in the Durham and Munich semi-analytical models (2016)
Journal Article
Guo, Q., Gonzalez-Perez, V., Guo, Q., Schaller, M., Furlong, M., Bower, R., …Theuns, T. (2016). Galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation and in the Durham and Munich semi-analytical models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 461(4), 3457-3482. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1525

We compare global predictions from the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation, and two semi-analytic (SA) models of galaxy formation, L-GALAXIES and GALFORM. All three models include the key physical processes for the formation and evolution of galaxies and...

Satellite galaxies in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation with sterile neutrino dark matter (2016)
Journal Article
Lovell, M., Bose, S., Boyarsky, A., Cole, S., Frenk, C., Gonzalez-Perez, V., …Smith, A. (2016). Satellite galaxies in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation with sterile neutrino dark matter. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 461(1), 60-72. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1317

The sterile neutrino is a viable dark matter candidate that can be produced in the early Universe via non-equilibrium processes, and would therefore possess a highly non-thermal spectrum of primordial velocities. In this paper we analyse the process... Read More about Satellite galaxies in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation with sterile neutrino dark matter.

The clustering evolution of dusty star-forming galaxies (2016)
Journal Article
Cowley, W., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., & Cole, S. (2016). The clustering evolution of dusty star-forming galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 461(2), 1621-1641. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1069

We present predictions for the clustering of galaxies selected by their emission at far-infrared (FIR) and sub-millimetre wavelengths. This includes the first predictions for the effect of clustering biases induced by the coarse angular resolution of... Read More about The clustering evolution of dusty star-forming galaxies.

The mass–concentration–redshift relation of cold and warm dark matter haloes (2016)
Journal Article
Ludlow, A., Bose, S., Angulo, R., Wang, L., Hellwing, W., Navarro, J., …Frenk, C. (2016). The mass–concentration–redshift relation of cold and warm dark matter haloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(2), 1214-1232. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1046

We use a suite of cosmological simulations to study the mass–concentration–redshift relation, c(M, z), of dark matter haloes. Our simulations include standard Λ-cold dark matter (CDM) models, and additional runs with truncated power spectra, consiste...

Constraints on the identity of the dark matter from strong gravitational lenses (2016)
Journal Article
Li, R., Frenk, C., Cole, S., Gao, L., Bose, S., & Hellwing, W. (2016). Constraints on the identity of the dark matter from strong gravitational lenses. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(1), 363-372. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw939

The cold dark matter (CDM) cosmological model unambiguously predicts that a large number of haloes should survive as subhaloes when they are accreted into a larger halo. The CDM model would be ruled out if such substructures were shown not to exist.... Read More about Constraints on the identity of the dark matter from strong gravitational lenses.

A unified model for the spatial and mass distribution of subhaloes (2016)
Journal Article
Han, J., Cole, S., Frenk, C., & Jing, Y. (2016). A unified model for the spatial and mass distribution of subhaloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(2), 1208-1223. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2900

N-body simulations suggest that the substructures that survive inside dark matter haloes follow universal distributions in mass and radial number density. We demonstrate that a simple analytical model can explain these subhalo distributions as result... Read More about A unified model for the spatial and mass distribution of subhaloes.

Recovering dark-matter clustering from galaxies with Gaussianization (2016)
Journal Article
McCullagh, N., Neyrinck, M., Norberg, P., & Cole, S. (2016). Recovering dark-matter clustering from galaxies with Gaussianization. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(4), 3652-3665. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw223

The Gaussianization transform has been proposed as a method to remove the issues of scale-dependent galaxy bias and non-linearity from galaxy clustering statistics, but these benefits have yet to be thoroughly tested for realistic galaxy samples. In... Read More about Recovering dark-matter clustering from galaxies with Gaussianization.
