Mock observations with the Millennium simulation: Cosmological downsizing and intermediate redshift observations
M. J. Stringer, A. J. Benson, K. Bundy +2
Only by incorporating various forms of feedback can theories of galaxy formation reproduce the present-day luminosity function of galaxies. It has also been argued that such feedba…
The formation of galaxy disks in a hierarchical universe
M. J. Stringer, A. J. Benson
The formation of galactic discs and the efficiency of star formation within them are issues central to our understanding of galaxy formation. We have developed a detailed and versa…
Large Structures and Galaxy Evolution in COSMOS at z < 1.1
N. Scoville, H. Aussel, A. Benson +25
We present the first identification of large-scale structures (LSS) at z in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). The structures are identified from adaptive smoothing of g…
What Shapes the Luminosity Function of Galaxies?
A. J. Benson, R. G. Bower, C. S. Frenk +3
We investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function. Beginning with the mass function of dark matter halos, we show how gas cooling, photoionization, feedback…
The Effects of Photoionization on Galaxy Formation -- III: Environmental Dependence in the Luminosity Function
A. J. Benson, C. S. Frenk, C. M. Baugh +2
Using semi-analytic modeling techniques, we calculate the luminosity function of galaxy populations residing in cold dark matter halos of different mass. We pay particular attentio…
Galaxy Voids in Cold Dark Matter Universes
A. J. Benson, Fiona Hoyle, Fernando Torres +1
We present predictions for numerous statistics related to the presence of voids in the distribution of galaxies in a cold dark matter model of structure formation using a semi-anal…
