Correlating galaxy colour and halo concentration: A tunable Halo Model of galactic conformity
Aseem Paranjape, Katarina Kovac, William G. Hartley +1
We extend the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) framework to generate mock galaxy catalogs exhibiting varying levels of "galactic conformity", which has emerged as a potentially p…
