The size evolution of elliptical galaxies (2014)
Journal Article
Xie, L., Guo, Q., Cooper, A., Frenk, C., Li, R., & Gao, L. (2015). The size evolution of elliptical galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 447(1), 636-645. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu2487

Recent work has suggested that the amplitude of the size–mass relation of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) evolves with redshift. Here we use a semi-analytical galaxy formation model to study the size evolution of massive ETGs. We find this model i... Read More about The size evolution of elliptical galaxies.

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the halo mass of galaxy groups from maximum-likelihood weak lensing (2014)

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 446(2), 1356-1379. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu2178

We present a maximum-likelihood weak-lensing analysis of the mass distribution in optically selected spectroscopic Galaxy Groups (G3Cv5) in the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, using background Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric galax...

The EAGLE project: simulating the evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments (2014)
Journal Article
Schaye, J., Crain, R. A., Bower, R. G., Furlong, M., Schaller, M., Theuns, T., …Trayford, J. (2015). The EAGLE project: simulating the evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 446(1), 521-554. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu2058

We introduce the Virgo Consortium's Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE) project, a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes in cosmologically representative v...

Extending the halo mass resolution of N-body simulations (2014)
Journal Article
Angulo, R., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., & Lacey, C. (2014). Extending the halo mass resolution of N-body simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 442(4), 3256-3265. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1084

We present a scheme to extend the halo mass resolution of dark matter N-body simulations. The method uses the simulated density field to predict the number of sub-resolution haloes expected in different regions, taking as input the abundance and the...

Mechanotransduction in the muscle spindle (2014)
Journal Article
Bewick, G. S., & Banks, R. W. (2015). Mechanotransduction in the muscle spindle. Pflügers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 467(1), 175-190. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00424-014-1536-9

The focus of this review is on the principal sensory ending of the mammalian muscle spindle, known as the primary ending. The process of mechanosensory transduction in the primary ending is examined under five headings: (i) action potential responses... Read More about Mechanotransduction in the muscle spindle.

N-body dark matter haloes with simple hierarchical histories (2014)
Journal Article
Jiang, L., Helly, J., Cole, S., & Frenk, C. (2014). N-body dark matter haloes with simple hierarchical histories. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 440(3), 2115-2135. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu390

We present a new algorithm which groups the subhaloes found in cosmological N-body simulations by structure finders such as SUBFIND into dark matter haloes whose formation histories are strictly hierarchical. One advantage of these `Dhaloes' over the... Read More about N-body dark matter haloes with simple hierarchical histories.

The properties of warm dark matter haloes (2014)
Journal Article
Lovell, M. R., Frenk, C. S., Eke, V. R., Jenkins, A., Gao, L., & Theuns, T. (2014). The properties of warm dark matter haloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 439(1), 300-317. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2431

Well-motivated elementary particle candidates for the dark matter, such as the sterile neutrino, behave as warm dark matter (WDM). For particle masses of the order of a keV, free streaming produces a cutoff in the linear fluctuation power spectrum at... Read More about The properties of warm dark matter haloes.
