Galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation and in the Durham and Munich semi-analytical models

Quan Guo, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez, Qi Guo +12

We compare global predictions from the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation, and two semi-analytic (SA) models of galaxy formation, L-GALAXIES and GALFORM. All three models include the…

The evolution of the stellar mass versus halo mass relationship

Peter Mitchell, Cedric Lacey, Carlton Baugh +1

We present an analysis of the predictions made by the Galform semi-analytic galaxy formation model for the evolution of the relationship between stellar mass and halo mass. We show…

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Projected Galaxy Clustering

D. J. Farrow, Shaun Cole, Peder Norberg +11

We measure the projected 2-point correlation function of galaxies in the 180 deg equatorial regions of the GAMA II survey, for four different redshift slices between z = 0.0 an…

A unified multi-wavelength model of galaxy formation

Cedric G. Lacey, Carlton M. Baugh, Carlos S. Frenk +7

We present a new version of the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. This brings together several previous developments of GALFORM into a single unified model, includ…

The orbital PDF: the dynamical state of Milky Way sized haloes and the intrinsic uncertainty in the determination of their masses

Jiaxin Han, Wenting Wang, Shaun Cole +1

Using realistic cosmological simulations of Milky Way sized haloes, we study their dynamical state and the accuracy of inferring their mass profiles with steady-state models of dyn…

The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers

Jiaxin Han, Wenting Wang, Shaun Cole +1

We develop two general methods to infer the gravitational potential of a system using steady-state tracers, i.e., tracers with a time-independent phase-space distribution. Combined…

Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers

Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han, Andrew P. Cooper +3

The mass of the dark matter halo of the Milky Way can be estimated by fitting analytical models to the phase-space distribution of dynamical tracers. We test this approach using re…

Formation of In Situ Stellar Haloes in Milky Way-Mass Galaxies

Andrew P. Cooper, Owen H. Parry, Ben Lowing +2

We study the formation of stellar haloes in three Milky Way-mass galaxies using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations, focusing on the subset of halo stars that…
