Predictions on the stellar-to-halo mass relation in the dwarf regime using the empirical model for galaxy formation EMERGE

Joseph A. O'Leary, Ulrich P. Steinwandel, Benjamin P. Moster +2

One of the primary goals when studying galaxy formation is to understand how the luminous component of the Universe, galaxies, relates to the growth of structure which is dominated…

Observational Measures of Halo Properties Beyond Mass

Peter Behroozi, Andrew Hearin, Benjamin P. Moster

Different properties of dark matter haloes, including growth rate, concentration, interaction history, and spin, correlate with environment in unique, scale-dependent ways. While t…

Globular cluster numbers in dark matter haloes in a dual formation scenario: an empirical model within EMERGE

Lucas M. Valenzuela, Benjamin P. Moster, Rhea-Silvia Remus +2

We present an empirical model for the number of globular clusters (GCs) in galaxies based on recent data showing a tight relationship between dark matter halo virial masses and GC…

Exoplanet Detection using Machine Learning

Abhishek Malik, Benjamin P. Moster, Christian Obermeier

We introduce a new machine learning based technique to detect exoplanets using the transit method. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have proven to be broadly applicabl…

EMERGE: Constraining merging probabilities and timescales of close galaxy pairs

Joseph A. O'Leary, Benjamin P. Moster, Eva Krämer

Theoretical models are vital for exploring the galaxy merger process, which plays a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. Recent advances in modelling have placed tight constr…
