Dark halo response and the stellar initial mass function in early-type and late-type galaxies
Aaron A. Dutton, Charlie Conroy, Frank C. van den Bosch +6
We investigate the origin of the relations between stellar mass and optical circular velocity for early-type (ETG) and late-type (LTG) galaxies --- the Faber-Jackson (FJ) and Tully…
An Improved Model for the Dynamical Evolution of Dark Matter Subhaloes
JianLing Gan, Xi Kang, Frank C. van den Bosch +1
Using an analytical model, we study the evolution of subhalo, including its mass, angular momentum and merging time-scale. This model considers the dominant processes governing sub…
The dependence of AGN activity on stellar and halo mass in Semi-Analytic Models
Fabio Fontanot, Anna Pasquali, Gabriella De Lucia +3
AGN feedback is believed to play an important role in shaping a variety of observed galaxy properties, as well as the evolution of their stellar masses and star formation rates. In…
Probing Hot Gas in Galaxy Groups through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
Ran Li, H. J. Mo, Zuhui Fan +2
We investigate the potential of exploiting the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) to study the properties of hot gas in galaxy groups. It is shown that, with upcoming SZE surveys, one…
On the Evolution of the Velocity-Mass-Size Relations of Disk-Dominated Galaxies over the Past 10 Billion Years
Aaron A. Dutton, Frank C. van den Bosch, S. M. Faber +10
We study the evolution of the scaling relations between maximum circular velocity, stellar mass and optical half-light radius of star-forming disk-dominated galaxies in the context…
Equilibrium Initialization and Stability of Three-Dimensional Gas Disks
Hsiang-Hsu Wang, Ralf S. Klessen, Cornelis P. Dullemond +2
We present a new systematic way of setting up galactic gas disks based on the assumption of detailed hydrodynamic equilibrium. To do this, we need to specify the density distributi…
The Kinematic Connection Between Galaxies and Dark Matter Haloes
Aaron A. Dutton, Charlie Conroy, Frank C. van den Bosch +2
Using estimates of dark halo masses from satellite kinematics, weak gravitational lensing, and halo abundance matching, combined with the Tully-Fisher and Faber-Jackson relations,…
Mergers in Lambda-CDM: Uncertainties in Theoretical Predictions and Interpretations of the Merger Rate
Philip F. Hopkins, Darren Croton, Kevin Bundy +10
Different methodologies lead to order-of-magnitude variations in predicted galaxy merger rates. We examine and quantify the dominant uncertainties. Different halo merger rates and…
Satellite Kinematics III: Halo Masses of Central Galaxies in SDSS
Surhud More, Frank C. van den Bosch, Marcello Cacciato +3
We use the kinematics of satellite galaxies that orbit around the central galaxy in a dark matter halo to infer the scaling relations between halo mass and central galaxy propertie…
The Impact of Feedback on Disk Galaxy Scaling Relations
Aaron A. Dutton, Frank C. van den Bosch
We use a disk formation model to study the effects of galactic outflows (a.k.a. feedback) on the rotation velocity - stellar mass - disk size, gas fraction - stellar mass, and gas…
Are Brightest Halo Galaxies Central Galaxies?
Ramin A. Skibba, Frank C. van den Bosch, Xiaohu Yang +3
It is generally assumed that the central galaxy in a dark matter halo, that is, the galaxy with the lowest specific potential energy, is also the brightest halo galaxy (BHG), and t…
