Cross identification between X-ray and Optical Clusters of Galaxies in the SDSS DR7 Field
Lei Wang, Xiaohu Yang, Wentao Luo +5
We use the ROSAT all sky survey X-ray cluster catalogs and the optical SDSS DR7 galaxy and group catalogs to cross-identify X-ray clusters with their optical counterparts, resultin…
Evolution of the Galaxy - Dark Matter Connection and the Assembly of Galaxies in Dark Matter Halos
Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo, Frank C. van den Bosch +2
We present a new model to describe the galaxy-dark matter connection across cosmic time, which unlike the popular subhalo abundance matching technique is self-consistent in that it…
Mass growth and mergers: direct observations of the luminosity function of LRG satellite galaxies out to z=0.7 from SDSS and BOSS images
Tomer Tal, David A. Wake, Pieter G. van Dokkum +4
We present a statistical study of the luminosity functions of galaxies surrounding luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at average redshifts <z>=0.34 and <z>=0.65. The luminosity functions…
Reconstructing the Cosmic Velocity and Tidal Fields with Galaxy Groups Selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Huiyuan Wang, H. J. Mo, Xiaohu Yang +1
[abridge]Cosmic velocity and tidal fields are important for the understanding of the cosmic web and the environments of galaxies, and can also be used to constrain cosmology. In th…
The angular momentum of disc galaxies: implications for gas accretion, outflows, and dynamical friction
Aaron A. Dutton, Frank C. van den Bosch
We combine constraints on the galaxy-dark matter connection with structural and dynamical scaling relations to investigate the angular momentum content of disc galaxies. For haloes…
An analytical model for the accretion of dark matter subhalos
Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo, Youcai Zhang +1
An analytical model is developed for the mass function of cold dark matter subhalos at the time of accretion and for the distribution of their accretion times. Our model is based o…
The dependence of low redshift galaxy properties on environment
Simone M. Weinmann, Frank C. van den Bosch, Anna Pasquali
We review recent results on the dependence of various galaxy properties on environment at low redshift. As environmental indicators, we use group mass, group-centric radius, and th…
