The redshift dependence of the structure of massive LCDM halos

Liang Gao, Julio F. Navarro, Shaun Cole +5

(Abridged) We use two very large cosmological simulations to study how the density profiles of relaxed LCDM dark halos depend on redshift and on halo mass. We confirm that these pr…

The statistical properties of LCDM halo formation

Shaun Cole, John Helly, Carlos S. Frenk +1

We present a comparison of the statistical properties of dark matter halo merger trees extracted from the Millennium Simulation with Extended Press-Schechter (EPS) formalism and th…

Constraints on sigma_8 from galaxy clustering in N-body simulations and semi-analytic models

Geraint Harker, Shaun Cole, Adrian Jenkins

We generate mock galaxy catalogues for a grid of different cosmologies, using rescaled N-body simulations in tandem with a semi-analytic model run using consistent parameters. Beca…

Generating Dark Matter Halo Merger Trees

Hannah Parkinson, Shaun Cole, John Helly

We present a new Monte-Carlo algorithm to generate merger trees describing the formation history of dark matter halos. The algorithm is a modification of the algorithm of Cole et a…

The statistics of LCDM Halo Concentrations

Angelo F. Neto, Liang Gao, Philip Bett +6

We use the Millennium Simulation (MS) to study the statistics of LCDM halo concentrations at z = 0. Our results confirm that the average halo concentration declines monotonically w…

Measuring the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale using the SDSS and 2dFGRS

Will J. Percival, Shaun Cole, Daniel J. Eisenstein +4

We introduce a method to constrain general cosmological models using Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) distance measurements from galaxy samples covering different redshift ranges,…
