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.

The effect of gravitational recoil on black holes forming in a hierarchical universe. (2006)
Journal Article
Libeskind, N., Cole, S., Frenk, C., & Helly, J. (2006). The effect of gravitational recoil on black holes forming in a hierarchical universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 368(3), 1381-1391. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10209.x

Galactic bulges are known to harbour central black holes whose mass is tightly correlated with the stellar mass and velocity dispersion of the bulge. In a hierarchical universe, galaxies are built up through successive mergers of subgalactic units, a...

A marked correlation function analysis of halo formation times in the Millennium Simulation (2006)
Journal Article
Harker, G., Cole, S., Helly, J., Frenk, C., & Jenkins, A. (2006). A marked correlation function analysis of halo formation times in the Millennium Simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 367(3), 1039-1049. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10022.x

We study the environmental dependence of the formation epoch of dark matter haloes in the Millennium Simulation: a ten billion particle N-body simulation of standard Lambda cold dark matter cosmology. A sensitive test of this dependence – the marked... Read More about A marked correlation function analysis of halo formation times in the Millennium Simulation.

Erratum: The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colours of galaxies. (2006)
Journal Article
Croton, D., Springel, V., White, S., De Lucia, G., Frenk, C., Gao, L., …Yoshida, N. (2006). Erratum: The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colours of galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 367(2), 864-864. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.09994.x

The paper ‘The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colours of galaxies’, was published in Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 365, 11–28 (2006). In preparing the script to plot the Tully—Fisher relation in...

Cosmological parameters from cosmic microwave background measurements and the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey power spectrum (2006)
Journal Article
Sanchez, A., Baugh, C., Percival, W., Peacock, J., Padilla, N., Cole, S., …Norberg, P. (2006). Cosmological parameters from cosmic microwave background measurements and the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey power spectrum. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 366(1), 189-207. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.09833.x

We derive constraints on cosmological parameters using the power spectrum of galaxy clustering measured from the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and a compilation of measurements of the temperature power spectrum and temperature–polarizatio...

Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 365(1), 11-28. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.09675.x

We simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi-analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the concordance Λ cold dark matter cosmogony. Our procedures... Read More about The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colours of galaxies..
