On the galaxy-halo connection in the EAGLE simulation
Harry Desmond, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa Wechsler +2
Empirical models of galaxy formation require assumptions about the correlations between galaxy and halo properties. These may be calibrated against observations or inferred from ph…

A statistical investigation of the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation
Harry Desmond
We use the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation (the correlation between the ratio of total-to-visible mass and acceleration in galaxies; MDAR) to test the galaxy-halo connection…

The Faber-Jackson relation and Fundamental Plane from halo abundance matching
Harry Desmond, Risa H. Wechsler
The Fundamental Plane (FP) describes the relation between the stellar mass, size, and velocity dispersion of elliptical galaxies; the Faber-Jackson relation (FJR) is its projection…
