Life in the Cosmic Neighbourhood: Galactic Habitable Zones in the EAGLE Simulations
Luke A. Barnes, Geraint F. Lewis, Jaime Salcido +3
When and where is life most likely to form in the universe? We use the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the prevalence and properties of life-friendly c…
Small-scale galaxy clustering in the EAGLE simulation
M. Celeste Artale, Susana E. Pedrosa, James W. Trayford +6
We study present-day galaxy clustering in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. EAGLE's galaxy formation parameters were calibrated to reproduce the redshift ga…
The origin of the enhanced metallicity of satellite galaxies
Yannick M. Bahe, Joop Schaye, Robert A. Crain +5
Observations of galaxies in the local Universe have shown that both the ionized gas and the stars of satellites are more metal-rich than of equally massive centrals. To gain insigh…
Constraints on galaxy formation models from the galaxy stellar mass function and its evolution
Luiz Felippe S. Rodrigues, Ian Vernon, Richard Bower
We explore the parameter space of the semi-analytic galaxy formation model GALFORM, studying the constraints imposed by measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) and…
Mass and magnification maps for the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields clusters: implications for high redshift studies
J. Richard, M. Jauzac, M. Limousin +9
Extending over three Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cycles, the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) initiative constitutes the largest commitment ever of HST time to the exploration of the…
The dynamics of z=0.8 H-alpha-selected star-forming galaxies from KMOS/CF-HiZELS
David Sobral, A. M. Swinbank, John Stott +6
We present the spatially resolved H-alpha (Ha) dynamics of sixteen star-forming galaxies at z~0.81 using the new KMOS multi-object integral field spectrograph on the ESO VLT. These…
Hubble Space Telescope H-alpha imaging of star-forming galaxies at z = 1-1.5: evolution in the size and luminosity of giant HII regions
R. C. Livermore, T. Jones, J. Richard +7
We present HST/WFC3 narrowband imaging of the H-alpha emission in a sample of eight gravitationally-lensed galaxies at z = 1 - 1.5. The magnification caused by the foreground clust…
An H-alpha search for over-dense regions at z=2.23
Y. Matsuda, Ian Smail, J. E. Geach +16
We present the results of a narrow-band (H2S1, 2.121/0.021um) imaging search with WFCAM/UKIRT for H-alpha emitters around several potential signposts of rare (10^-7-10^-8 Mpc^-3) o…
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…
Cold Mode Accretion in Galaxy Formation
Andrew J. Benson, Richard Bower
A generic expectation for gas accreted by high mass haloes is that it is shock heated to the virial temperature of the halo. In low mass haloes, or at high redshift, however, the g…
Galaxy Formation Spanning Cosmic History
Andrew J. Benson, Richard G. Bower
Over the past several decades, galaxy formation theory has met with significant successes. In order to test current theories thoroughly we require predictions for as yet unprobed r…
Star Formation Activities of Galaxies in the Large-Scale Structures at z=1.2
M. Tanaka, C. Lidman, R. G. Bower +5
Recent wide-field imaging observations of the X-ray luminous cluster RDCSJ1252.9-2927 at z=1.24 uncovered several galaxy groups that appear to be embedded in filamentary structure…
The Monster's Fiery Breath and its Impact on Galaxy Formation
R. G. Bower
My aim in this talk is to make clear that there are two sides to galaxy formation: the properties of the galaxies themselves, and the properties of the material that is left over f…
A Spatially Resolved Map of the Kinematics, Star-Formation and Stellar Mass Assembly in a Star-Forming Galaxy at z=4.9
Mark Swinbank, Tracy Webb, Johan Richard +8
We present a detailed study of the spatially resolved kinematics, star-formation and stellar mass in a highly amplified galaxy at z=4.92 behind the lensing cluster MS1358+62. We us…
Morphological Composition of z~0.4 groups: The site of S0 formation
D. J. Wilman, A. Oemler, J. S. Mulchaey +3
The low redshift Universe (z<~0.5) is not a dull place. Processes leading to the suppression of star formation and morphological transformation are prevalent: this is particularly…
The Baryonic and Dark Matter Properties of High Redshift Gravitationally Lensed Disk Galaxies
P. Salucci, A. M. Swinbank, A. Lapi +4
We present a detailed study of the structural properties of four gravitationally lensed disk galaxies at z=1. Modelling the rotation curves on sub-kpc scales we derive the values f…
The CNOC2 sample of intermediate redshift galaxy groups - the powerhouse of galaxy evolution
D. J. Wilman, M. L. Balogh, R. G. Bower +3
The evolution of galaxies in groups may have important implications for the global evolution of star formation rate in the Universe, since many processes which operate in groups ma…
The Strongly Polarized Afterglow of GRB 020405
D. Bersier, B. McLeod, P. M. Garnavich +12
We report polarization measurements and photometry for the optical afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 020405. We measured a highly significant 9.9% polarization (in V band) 1.3 d…
The Transformation of Galaxies within the Large Scale Structure around a z=0.41 Cluster

We present deep, panoramic multi-color imaging of the distant rich cluster A851 (Cl0939+4713, z=0.41) using Suprime-Cam on Subaru. These images cover a 27' field of view, ~11 Mpc a…
Revisiting the Cosmic Cooling Crisis
Michael Balogh, Frazer Pearce, Richard Bower +1
Recent measurements of the K-band luminosity function now provide us with strong, reliable constraints on the fraction of baryons which have cooled. Globally, this fraction is only…

Diffuse X-Ray Emission from Late-Type Galaxy Haloes
A. J. Benson, R. G. Bower, C. S. Frenk +1
