On the Evolution of the Cosmic Ionizing Background
Fabio Fontanot, Stefano Cristiani, Christoph Pfrommer +2
We study the observed cosmic ionizing background as a constraint on the nature of the sources responsible for the reionization of the Universe. In earlier work, we showed that extr…
Semi-analytic galaxy formation in f(R)-gravity cosmologies
Fabio Fontanot, Ewald Puchwein, Volker Springel +1
Modifications of the equations of general relativity at large distances offer one possibility to explain the observed properties of our Universe without invoking a cosmological con…
The Hierarchical Origins of Observed Galaxy Morphology
David J. Wilman, Fabio Fontanot, Gabriella De Lucia +2
Galaxies grow primarily via accretion-driven star formation in discs and merger-driven growth of bulges. These processes are implicit in semi-analytical models of galaxy formation,…
A Research Note on the Implementation of Star Formation and Stellar Feedback in Semi-Analytic Models
Fabio Fontanot, Gabriella De Lucia, Andrew J. Benson +2
We study the impact of star formation and stellar feedback prescriptions on galaxy properties predicted by means of "stripped-down" versions of independently developed semi-analyti…
