Effects of feedback on the morphology of galaxy discs (2005)
Journal Article

We have performed hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation in a cold dark matter (ΛCDM) universe. We have followed galaxy formation in a dark matter halo, chosen to have a relatively quiet recent merger history, using different models for star fo...

We model gas cooling in high-resolution N-body simulations in order to investigate the formation of the first generation of stars. We follow a region of a Lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) universe especially selected to contain a rich cluster by the pr... Read More about The first generation of star-forming haloes..

The distribution of satellite galaxies: the great pancake. (2005)
Journal Article

The 11 known satellite galaxies within 250 kpc of the Milky Way lie close to a great circle on the sky. We use high-resolution N-body simulations of galactic dark matter haloes to test if this remarkable property can be understood within the context...

We use a novel technique to simulate the growth of one of the most massive progenitors of a supercluster region from redshift z 80, when its mass was about 10 M, until the present day. Our nested sequence of N-body resimulations allows us to study in... Read More about Early structure in Lambda CDM.

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: power-spectrum analysis of the final data set and cosmological implications (2005)
Journal Article

We present a power-spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), employing a direct Fourier method. The sample used comprises 221 414 galaxies with measured redshifts. We investigate in detail the modelling of the sample selecti... Read More about The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: power-spectrum analysis of the final data set and cosmological implications.

Acoustic oscillations in the baryon–photon fluid leave a signature in the matter power spectrum. The overall shape of the spectrum and the wavelength of the oscillations depend upon the sound horizon scale at recombination. Using the Λ cold dark matt...

The cold dark matter model has become the leading theoretical picture for the formation of structure in the Universe. This model, together with the theory of cosmic inflation, makes a clear prediction for the initial conditions for structure formatio...
