Cosmic CARNage I: on the calibration of galaxy formation models
Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez +31
We present a comparison of nine galaxy formation models, eight semi-analytical and one halo occupation distribution model, run on the same underlying cold dark matter simulation (c…
Stellar population properties for 2 million galaxies from SDSS DR14 and DEEP2 DR4 from full spectral fitting
Johan Comparat, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Goddard +13
We determine the stellar population properties - age, metallicity, dust reddening, stellar mass and the star formation history - for all spectra classified as galaxies that were pu…
The mass-metallicity relations for gas and stars in star-forming galaxies: strong outflow vs variable IMF
Jianhui Lian, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +4
We investigate the mass-metallicity relations for the gaseous (MZRgas) and stellar components (MZRstar) of local star-forming galaxies based on a representative sample from SDSS DR…
MultiDark-Galaxies: data release and first results
Alexander Knebe, Doris Stoppacher, Francisco Prada +18
We present the public release of the MultiDark-Galaxies: three distinct galaxy catalogues derived from one of the Planck cosmology MultiDark simulations (i.e. MDPL2, with a volume…
Comparing galaxy formation in semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations
Peter D. Mitchell, Cedric G. Lacey, Claudia D. P. Lagos +7
It is now possible for hydrodynamical simulations to reproduce a representative galaxy population. Accordingly, it is timely to assess critically some of the assumptions of traditi…
The host dark matter halos of [OII] emitters at 0.5< z< 1.5
V. Gonzalez-Perez, J. Comparat, P. Norberg +7
Emission line galaxies (ELGs) are used in several ongoing and upcoming surveys (SDSS-IV/eBOSS, DESI) as tracers of the dark matter distribution. Using a new galaxy formation model,…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
Revisiting HOD model assumptions: the impact of AGN feedback and assembly bias
Nuala McCullagh, Peder Norberg, Shaun Cole +3
The standard Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) models were originally developed based on results from semi-analytic and hydrodynamical galaxy formation models. Those models have s…
The VLA-COSMOS 3~GHz Large Project: AGN and host-galaxy properties out to z6
I. Delvecchio, V. Smolcic, G. Zamorani +29
We explore the multiwavelength properties of AGN host galaxies for different classes of radio-selected AGN out to z6 via a multiwavelength analysis of about 7700 radio so…
Galactic conformity measured in semi-analytic models
Ivan Lacerna, Sergio Contreras, Roberto E. González +2
We study the correlation between the specific star formation rate of central galaxies and neighbour galaxies, also known as 'galactic conformity', out to 20 Mpc/h using three semi-…
nIFTy Cosmology: the clustering consistency of galaxy formation models
Arnau Pujol, Ramin A. Skibba, Enrique Gaztañaga +35
We present a clustering comparison of 12 galaxy formation models (including Semi-Analytic Models (SAMs) and Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) models) all run on halo catalogues an…
