Quiescent luminous red galaxies (LRGs) as cosmic chronometers: on the significance of mass and environmental dependence

Gaochao Liu, Youjun Lu, Lizhi Xie +2

Massive luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are believed to be evolving passively and can be used as cosmic chronometers to estimate the Hubble constant. However, different LRGs may be lo…

Semi-Numerical Simulation of Reionization with Semi-Analytical Modeling of Galaxy Formation

Jie Zhou, Qi Guo, Gaochao Liu +3

In a semi-numerical model of reionization, the evolution of ionization fraction is simulated approximately by the ionizing photon to baryon ratio criterion. In this paper we incorp…

The Age-Redshift Relation For Luminous Red Galaxies Obtained From the Full Spectrum Fitting and Its Cosmological Implications

Gaochao Liu, Youjun Lu, Xuelei Chen +3

The relative age of galaxies at different redshifts can be used to infer the Hubble parameter and put constraints on cosmological models. We select 23,883 quiescent luminous red ga…
