The nature of red dwarf galaxies
Yu Wang, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo +5
Using dark matter halos traced by galaxy groups selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, we find that about 1/4 of the faint galaxies ($\rmag >-17.05$, hereafter…
The subhalo - satellite connection and the fate of disrupted satellite galaxies
Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo, Frank C. van den Bosch
In the standard paradigm, satellite galaxies are believed to be associated with the population of dark matter subhalos. In this paper, we use the conditional stellar mass functions…
Galaxy Groups in the SDSS DR4: III. the luminosity and stellar mass functions
Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo, Frank C. van den Bosch
Using a large galaxy group catalogue constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (SDSS DR4) with an adaptive halo-based group finder, we investigate the luminosity…
Galaxy Clustering & Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing: A Promising Union to Constrain Cosmological Parameters
Marcello Cacciato, Frank C. van den Bosch, Surhud More +3
Galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing probe the connection between galaxies and their dark matter haloes in complementary ways. On one hand, the halo occupation statistics in…
Satellite Kinematics II: The Halo Mass-Luminosity Relation of Central Galaxies in SDSS
Surhud More, Frank C. van den Bosch, Marcello Cacciato +3
The kinematics of satellite galaxies reflect the masses of the extended dark matter haloes in which they orbit, and thus shed light on the mass-luminosity relation (MLR) of their c…
New Constraints on the Efficiencies of Ram-Pressure Stripping and the Tidal Disruption of Satellite Galaxies
X. Kang, Frank C. van den Bosch
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) it has recently been shown that the red fraction of satellite galaxies increases with stellar mass. Semi-analytical models, howe…
The clustering of SDSS galaxy groups: mass and color dependence
Yu Wang, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo +3
We use a sample of galaxy groups selected from the SDSS DR 4 with an adaptive halo-based group finder to probe how the clustering strength of groups depends on their masses and col…
The cross-correlation between galaxies of different luminosities and Colors
Yu Wang, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo +1
We study the cross-correlation between galaxies of different luminosities and colors, using a sample selected from the SDSS Dr 4. Galaxies are divided into 6 samples according to l…
Concentration, Spin and Shape of Dark Matter Haloes: Scatter and the Dependence on Mass and Environment
Andrea V. Maccio', Aaron A. Dutton, Frank C. van den Bosch +3
We use a series of cosmological N-body simulations for a flat LCDM cosmology to investigate the properties of dark matter haloes in the mass range 3.0e9-3.0e13 Msun. These properti…
Origin of the Joint Distribution of Structural Parameters in Disc Galaxies
Aaron A. Dutton, Frank C. van den Bosch, Stephane Courteau +1
We use a simple model of disc-galaxy formation in the LCDM cosmology to simultaneously reproduce the slopes, zero-points, scatter and uncorrelated residuals in the observed velocit…
Linking Early and Late Type Galaxies to their Dark Matter Haloes
Frank C. van den Bosch, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo
(Abridged) Using data from the 2dFGRS we compute the conditional luminosity functions (CLFs) of early- and late-type galaxies. These functions give the average number of galaxies w…
Constraining Galaxy Formation and Cosmology with the Conditional Luminosity Function of Galaxies
Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo, Frank C. van den Bosch
We use the conditional luminosity function (CLF), which gives the number of galaxies with luminosities in the range [L, L+dL] that reside in a halo of mass M, to link the distribut…
The Origin of the Correlation between the Spin Parameter and the Baryon Fraction of Galactic Disks
Andreas Burkert, Frank C. van den Bosch, Rob A. Swaters
The puzzling correlation between the spin parameter lambda of galactic disks and the disk-to-halo mass fraction fdisk is investigated. We show that such a correlation arises natura…
Measuring the Virial Masses of Disk Galaxies
Frank C. van den Bosch
I present detailed models for the formation of disk galaxies, and investigate which observables are best suited as virial mass estimators. Contrary to naive expectations, the lumin…
The Angular Momentum of Gas in Proto-Galaxies I. Implications for the Formation of Disk Galaxies
Frank C. van den Bosch, Tom Abel, Rupert A. C. Croft +2
We use non-radiative N-body/SPH simulations of structure formation in a LCDM cosmology to compare the angular momentum distributions of dark matter and gas in a large sample of hal…
The Impact of Cooling and Feedback on Disc Galaxies
Frank C. van den Bosch
We present detailed, analytical models for the formation of disc galaxies to investigate the impact that cooling and feedback have on their structural properties. In particular, we…
Galaxy Cores as Relics of Black Hole Mergers
Milos Milosavljevic, David Merritt, Armin Rest +1
We investigate the hypothesis that the cores of elliptical galaxies and bulges are created from the binding energy liberated by the coalescence of supermassive binary black holes d…
The Origin of the Density Distribution of Disk Galaxies: A New Problem for the Standard Model of Disk Formation
Frank C. van den Bosch
We present new models for the formation of disk galaxies that improve upon previous models by following the detailed accretion and cooling of the baryonic mass, and by using realis…
The Angular Momentum Content of Dwarf Galaxies: New Challenges for the Theory of Galaxy Formation
Frank C. van den Bosch, Andreas Burkert, Rob A. Swaters
We compute the specific angular momentum distributions of a sample of low mass disk galaxies observed by Swaters. We compare these distributions to those of dark matter haloes obta…
The Universal Mass Accretion History of CDM Haloes
Frank C. van den Bosch
We use the extended Press-Schechter formalism to investigate the rate at which cold dark matter haloes accrete mass. We discuss the shortcomings of previous methods that have been…
Dusty Nuclear Disks and Filaments in Early Type Galaxies
H. D. Tran, Z. Tsvetanov, H. C. Ford +4
We examine the dust properties of a nearby distance-limited sample of early type galaxies using the WFPC2 of the Hubble Space Telescope. Dust is detected in 29 out of 67 galaxies (…
