We study the evolution of the cold gas content of galaxies by splitting the interstellar medium into its atomic and molecular hydrogen components, using the galaxy formation model GALFORM in the Λ cold dark matter framework. We calculate the molecula... Read More about Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies.

We present predictions for the clustering of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in a Λ cold dark matter universe, using a semi-analytical galaxy formation model in combination with a cosmological N-body simulation. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed a... Read More about Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe - II. Clustering of Extremely Red Objects.

On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation (2011)
Journal Article

We investigate the consequences of applying different star formation laws in the galaxy formation model GALFORM. Three broad star formation laws are implemented: the empirical relations of Kennicutt and Schmidt and Blitz & Rosolowsky and the theoreti...

The spatial distribution of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models (2011)
Journal Article

The distribution of cold gas in dark matter haloes is driven by key processes in galaxy formation: gas cooling, galaxy mergers, star formation and reheating of gas by supernovae. We compare the predictions of four different galaxy formation models fo... Read More about The spatial distribution of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models.

The role of submillimetre galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation (2011)
Journal Article

We study the role of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the galaxy formation process in the Λ cold dark matter cosmology. We use the Baugh et al. semi-analytical model, which matches the observed SMG number counts and redshift distribution by assuming...

The anisotropy of clustering in redshift space provides a direct measure of the growth rate of large-scale structure in the Universe. Future galaxy redshift surveys will make high-precision measurements of these distortions, and will potentially allo...
