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…
