The Cosmological History of Accretion onto Supermassive Black Holes
L. Miller, W. J. Percival, S. M. Croom
It is argued that supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies most likely have grown coevally with their host dark matter halos. A calculation based on Press-Schechter withi…
The formation of cluster elliptical galaxies as revealed by extensive star formation
J. A. Stevens, R. J. Ivison, J. S. Dunlop +6
The most massive galaxies in the present-day Universe are found to lie in the centres of rich clusters. They have old, coeval stellar populations suggesting that the bulk of their…
The host galaxies of luminous quasars
D. J. E. Floyd, M. J. Kukula, J. S. Dunlop +5
We present results of a deep HST/WFPC2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z~0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolu…
The Halo Formation Rate and its link to the Global Star Formation Rate
W. J. Percival, L. Miller, W. E. Ballinger
The star formation history of the universe shows strong evolution with cosmological epoch. Although we know mergers between galaxies can cause luminous bursts of star formation, th…
Cosmological evolution and hierarchical galaxy formation
L. Miller, W. J. Percival
We provide a new multi-waveband compilation of the data describing the cosmological evolution of quasars, and discuss a model that attributes the evolution to variation in the rate…
