Constraints on black hole fuelling modes from the clustering of X-ray AGN
N. Fanidakis, A. Georgakakis, G. Mountrichas +6
We present a clustering analysis of X-ray selected AGN by compiling X-ray samples from the literature and re-estimating the dark matter (DM) halo masses of AGN in a uniform manner.…
On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation
Claudia del P. Lagos, Cedric G. Lacey, Carlton M. Baugh +2
We investigate the consequences of applying different star formation laws in the galaxy formation model GALFORM. Three broad star formation laws are implemented: the empirical rela…
The Parameter Space of Galaxy Formation
R. G. Bower, I. Vernon, M. Goldstein +6
Semi-analytic models are a powerful tool for studying the formation of galaxies. However, these models inevitably involve a significant number of poorly constrained parameters that…
The evolution of Lyman-break galaxies in CDM
C. G. Lacey, C. M. Baugh, C. S. Frenk +2
We make a detailed investigation of the properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the LambdaCDM model. We present predictions for two published variants of the GALFORM semi-anal…
The spatial distribution of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models
Han-Seek Kim, C. M. Baugh, A. J. Benson +5
The distribution of cold gas in dark matter haloes is driven by key processes in galaxy formation: gas cooling, galaxy mergers, star formation and reheating of gas by supernovae. W…
Grand unification of AGN activity in the LambdaCDM cosmology
N. Fanidakis, C. M. Baugh, A. J. Benson +4
We track the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies. The calculation is embedded in the GALFORM semi-analytical model which simulates the formatio…
