Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, W., Han, J., Cooper, A. P., Cole, S., Frenk, C., & Lowing, B. (2015). Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 453(1), 377-400. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1647

The mass of the dark matter halo of the Milky Way can be estimated by fitting analytical models to the phase-space distribution of dynamical tracers. We test this approach using realistic mock stellar haloes constructed from the Aquarius N-body simul... Read More about Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers.

Unifying X-ray scaling relations from galaxies to clusters (2015)
Journal Article
Anderson, M. E., Gaspari, M., White, S. D., Wang, W., & Dai, X. (2015). Unifying X-ray scaling relations from galaxies to clusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 449(4), 3806-3826. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv437

We examine a sample of ∼250 000 ‘locally brightest galaxies’ selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to be central galaxies within their dark matter haloes. We stack the X-ray emission from these haloes, as a function of the stellar mass of the ce... Read More about Unifying X-ray scaling relations from galaxies to clusters.

Co-evolution of black hole growth and star formation from a cross-correlation analysis between quasars and the cosmic infrared background (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, L., Viero, M., Ross, N., Asboth, V., Béthermin, M., Bock, J., …Zemcov, M. (2015). Co-evolution of black hole growth and star formation from a cross-correlation analysis between quasars and the cosmic infrared background. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 449(4), 4476-4493. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv559

We present the first cross-correlation measurement between Sloan Digital Sky Survey type 1 quasars and the cosmic infrared background (CIB) measured by Herschel. The quasars cover the redshift range 0.15 < z < 3.5 where most of the CIB originates. We...

A new spin on discs of satellite galaxies (2015)
Journal Article
Cautun, M., Wang, W., Frenk, C., & Sawala, T. (2015). A new spin on discs of satellite galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 449(3), 2576-2587. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv490

We investigate the angular and kinematic distributions of satellite galaxies around a large sample of bright isolated primaries in the spectroscopic and photometric catalogues of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We detect significant anisotropy i... Read More about A new spin on discs of satellite galaxies.

Creating mock catalogues of stellar haloes from cosmological simulations (2015)
Journal Article
Lowing, B., Wang, W., Cooper, A., Kennedy, R., Helly, J., Cole, S., & Frenk, C. (2015). Creating mock catalogues of stellar haloes from cosmological simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 446(3), 2274-2290. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu2257

We present a new technique for creating mock catalogues of the individual stars that make up the accreted component of stellar haloes in cosmological simulations and show how the catalogues can be used to test and interpret observational data. The ca... Read More about Creating mock catalogues of stellar haloes from cosmological simulations.
