Connecting SDSS central galaxies to their host halos using total satellite luminosity
Mehmet Alpaslan, Jeremy L. Tinker
The total luminosity of satellite galaxies around a central galaxy, L, is a powerful metric for probing dark matter halos. In this paper we use data from the Sloan Digital…
Probing the galaxy-halo connection with total satellite luminosity
Jeremy L. Tinker, Junzhi Cao, Mehmet Alpaslan +3
We demonstrate how the total luminosity in satellite galaxies is a powerful probe of dark matter halos around central galaxies. The method cross-correlates central galaxies in spec…
Constraining the scatter in the galaxy-halo connection at Milky Way masses
Jun-zhi Cao, Jeremy L. Tinker, Yao-Yuan Mao +1
We develop and implement two new methods for constraining the scatter in the relationship between galaxies and dark matter halos. These new techniques are sensitive to the scatter…
Constraining Star Formation Histories of Blue Galaxies using the Scatter between Stellar Mass and Halo Mass
ChangHoon Hahn, Jeremy L. Tinker, Andrew Wetzel
We present constraints on the timescale of star formation variability and the correlation between star formation and host halo accretion histories of star-forming (SF) central gala…
Astro2020: Empirically Constraining Galaxy Evolution
Peter Behroozi, Matthew R. Becker, Frank C. van den Bosch +22
Over the past decade, empirical constraints on the galaxy-dark matter halo connection have significantly advanced our understanding of galaxy evolution. Past techniques have focuse…
