The colors of satellite galaxies in the Illustris Simulation
Laura V. Sales, Mark Vogelsberger, Shy Genel +8
Observationally, the fraction of blue satellite galaxies decreases steeply with host halo mass, and their radial distribution around central galaxies is significantly shallower in…
A new spin on disks of satellite galaxies
Marius Cautun, Wenting Wang, Carlos S. Frenk +1
We investigate the angular and kinematic distributions of satellite galaxies around a large sample of bright isolated primaries in the spectroscopic and photometric catalogues of t…
Unifying X-ray Scaling Relations from Galaxies to Clusters
Michael E. Anderson, Massimo Gaspari, Simon D. M. White +2
We examine a sample of "locally brightest galaxies" selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to be central galaxies within their dark matter halos. These were prev…
The co-evolution of black hole growth and star formation from a cross-correlation analysis between quasars and the cosmic infrared background
Lingyu Wang, Marco Viero, Nicholas P. Ross +19
We present the first cross-correlation measurement between Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Type 1 quasars and the cosmic infrared background (CIB) measured by Herschel. The distrib…
Creating mock catalogues of stellar haloes from cosmological simulations
Ben Lowing, Wenting Wang, Andrew Cooper +4
We present a new technique for creating mock catalogues of the individual stars that make up the accreted component of stellar haloes in cosmological simulations and show how the c…
Satellite abundances around bright isolated galaxies II: radial distribution and environmental effects
Wenting Wang, Laura V. Sales, Bruno M. B. Henriques +1
We use the SDSS/DR8 galaxy sample to study the radial distribution of satellite galaxies around isolated primaries, comparing to semi-analytic models of galaxy formation based on t…
