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.

Subhalo abundance matching and assembly bias in the EAGLE simulation (2016)
Journal Article
Chaves-Montero, J., Angulo, R., Schaye, J., Schaller, M., Crain, R., Furlong, M., & Theuns, T. (2016). Subhalo abundance matching and assembly bias in the EAGLE simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(3), 3100-3118. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1225

Subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) is a widely used method to connect galaxies with dark matter structures in numerical simulations. SHAM predictions agree remarkably well with observations, yet they still lack strong theoretical support. We examine t...

We study the implications of galaxy formation on dark matter direct detection using high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies simulated within the EAGLE and APOSTLE projects. We identify Milky Way analogues that satisfy obse... Read More about Simulated Milky Way analogues: implications for dark matter direct searches.

The origin of compact galaxies with anomalously high black hole masses (2016)
Journal Article

Observations of local galaxies harbouring supermassive black holes (BH) of anomalously high mass, MBH, relative to their stellar mass, M*, appear to be at odds with simple models of the co-evolution between galaxies and their central BHs. We study th... Read More about The origin of compact galaxies with anomalously high black hole masses.
