Evaluating and Improving Semi-analytic modelling of Dust in Galaxies based on Radiative Transfer Calculations

Fabio Fontanot, Rachel S. Somerville, Laura Silva +2

The treatment of dust attenuation is crucial in order to compare the predictions of galaxy formation models with multiwavelength observations. Most past studies have either used si…

The Correlation of Star Formation Quenching with Internal Galaxy Properties and Environment

Taysun Kimm, Rachel S. Somerville, Sukyoung K. Yi +8

We investigate the correlation of star formation quenching with internal galaxy properties and large scale environment (halo mass) in empirical data and theoretical models. We make…

Tracing the gas at redshift 1.7-3.5 with the Lyman-alpha forest: the FLO approach

F. Saitta, V. D'Odorico, M. Bruscoli +3

[Abridged] We present FLO (From Lines to Over-densities), a new technique to reconstruct the hydrogen density field for the Lya forest lines observed in high resolution QSO spectra…

How does gas cool in DM halos?

M. Viola, P. Monaco, S. Borgani +2

In order to study the process of cooling in dark-matter (DM) halos and assess how well simple models can represent it, we run a set of radiative SPH hydrodynamical simulations of i…

Reproducing the assembly of massive galaxies within the hierarchical cosmogony

Fabio Fontanot, Pierluigi Monaco, Laura Silva +1

In order to gain insight into the physical mechanisms leading to the formation of stars and their assembly in galaxies, we compare the predictions of the MOdel for the Rise of GAla…

Constraining feedback in galaxy formation: using galaxy and AGN surveys to shed light on "gastrophysics"

Pierluigi Monaco

We present some results of the new MORGANA model for the rise of galaxies and active nuclei, and show that the improved physical motivation of the description of star formation and…
