A halo expansion technique for approximating simulated dark matter haloes (2011)
Journal Article
Lowing, B., Jenkins, A., Eke, V., & Frenk, C. (2011). A halo expansion technique for approximating simulated dark matter haloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 416(4), 2697-2711. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19222.x

We apply a basis function expansion method to create a time-evolving density/potential approximation of the late growth of simulated N-body dark matter haloes. We demonstrate how the potential of a halo from the Aquarius Project can be accurately rep... Read More about A halo expansion technique for approximating simulated dark matter haloes.

Mismatch and misalignment: dark haloes and satellites of disc galaxies (2011)
Journal Article
Deason, A., McCarthy, I., Font, A., Evans, N., Frenk, C., Belokurov, V., …Theuns, T. (2011). Mismatch and misalignment: dark haloes and satellites of disc galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 415(3), 2607-2625. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.18884.x

We study the phase-space distribution of satellite galaxies associated with late-type galaxies in the GIMIC suite of simulations. GIMIC consists of resimulations of five cosmologically representative regions from the Millennium Simulation, which have...

The spatial distribution of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models (2011)
Journal Article
Kim, H., Baugh, C., Benson, A., Cole, S., Frenk, C., Lacey, C., …Schneider, M. (2011). The spatial distribution of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 414(3), 2367-2385. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.18556.x

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.
