Galaxy morphology, kinematics and clustering in a hydrodynamic simulation of a LambdaCDM universe

Rupert A. C. Croft, Tiziana Di Matteo, Volker Springel +1

We explore galaxy properties and their link with environment and clustering using a population of ~1000 galaxies formed in a high resolution hydrodynamic simulation of the Lambda C…

SPHRAY: A Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Ray Tracer for Radiative Transfer

Gabriel Altay, Rupert A. C. Croft, Inti Pelupessy

We introduce SPHRAY, a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) ray tracer designed to solve the 3D, time dependent, radiative transfer (RT) equations for arbitrary density fields. Th…

On the Search for Quasar Light Echoes

Eli Visbal, Rupert A. C. Croft

The UV radiation from a quasar leaves a characteristic pattern in the distribution of ionized hydrogen throughout the surrounding space. This pattern or light echo propagates throu…

Radiation-induced large-scale structure during the reionization epoch: the autocorrelation function

Rupert A. C. Croft, Gabriel Altay

The structures produced during the epoch of reionization by the action of radiation on neutral hydrogen are in principle different to those that arise through gravitational growth…

Constraining quasar host halo masses with the strength of nearby Lyman-alpha forest absorption

Young-Rae Kim, Rupert Croft

Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations we measure the mean transmitted flux in the Lyman alpha forest for quasar sightlines that pass near a foreground quasar. We find that th…

The Influence of Large-Scale Structure on Halo Shapes and Alignments

G. Altay, J. M. Colberg, R. A. C. Croft

Alignments of galaxy clusters (the Binggeli effect), as well as of galaxies themselves have long been studied both observationally and theoretically. Here we test the influence of…
