Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation (2006)
Journal Article
Bower, R., Benson, A., Malbon, R., Helly, J., Frenk, C., Baugh, C., …Lacey, C. (2006). Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 370(2), 645-655. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10519.x

Recent observations of the distant Universe suggest that much of the stellar mass of bright galaxies was already in place at z> 1. This presents a challenge for models of galaxy formation because massive haloes are assembled late in the hierarchical... Read More about Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation.
