We take advantage of the statistical power of the large-volume dark-matter-only Millennium simulation (MS), combined with a sophisticated semi-analytic galaxy formation model, to explore whether the recently reported z = 3.7 quiescent galaxy ZF-COSMO...

A particular population of galaxies have drawn much interest recently, which are as faint as typical dwarf galaxies but have the sizes as large as L* galaxies, the so called ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs). The lack of tidal features of UDGs in dense en... Read More about A Universe of ultradiffuse galaxies: theoretical predictions from ΛCDM simulations.

The segregation of baryons and dark matter during halo assembly (2017)
Journal Article
Liao, S., Gao, L., Frenk, C. S., Guo, Q., & Wang, J. (2017). The segregation of baryons and dark matter during halo assembly. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 470(2), 2262-2269. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1391

The standard galaxy formation theory assumes that baryons and dark matter are initially well mixed before becoming segregated due to radiative cooling. We use non-radiative hydrodynamical simulations to explicitly examine this assumption and find tha... Read More about The segregation of baryons and dark matter during halo assembly.
