In the present-day universe, the most massive galaxies are ellipticals located in the cores of galaxy clusters, harboring the heaviest supermassive black holes (SMBHs). However, the mechanisms that drive the early growth phase and subsequent transfor... Read More about ADF22-WEB: A giant barred spiral starburst galaxy in the z = 3.1 SSA22 protocluster core.

Journal Article
Gray, E. I., Read, J. I., Taylor, E., Orkney, M. D. A., Rey, M. P., Yates, R. M., Kim, S. Y., Noël, N. E. D., Agertz, O., Andersson, E. P., & Pontzen, A. (in press). EDGE: A new model for nuclear star cluster formation in dwarf galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 539(2), 1167-1179. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staf521

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found at the centres of many spiral and elliptical galaxies, and up to 40 percent of dwarf galaxies. However, their formation mechanisms, and possible links to... Read More about EDGE: A new model for nuclear star cluster formation in dwarf galaxies.

On the accuracy of dark matter halo merger trees and the consequences for semi-analytic models of galaxy formation (2025)
Journal Article
Chandro-Gómez, Á., Lagos, C. D. P., Power, C., Moreno, V. J. F., Helly, J. C., Lacey, C. G., McGibbon, R. J., Schaller, M., & Schaye, J. (in press). On the accuracy of dark matter halo merger trees and the consequences for semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 539(2), 776-807. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staf519

Galaxy formation and evolution models, such as semi-analytic models, are powerful theoretical tools for predicting how galaxies evolve across cosmic time. These models follow the evolution of galaxies based on the halo assembly histories inferred fro...
