Coming of Age in the Dark Sector: How Dark Matter Haloes grow their Gravitational Potential Wells
Frank C. van den Bosch, Fangzhou Jiang, Andrew Hearin +3
We present a detailed study of how dark matter haloes assemble their mass and grow their (central) potential well. We characterize these via their mass accretion histories (MAHs) a…
Spin alignments of spiral galaxies within the large-scale structure from SDSS DR7
Youcai Zhang, Xiaohu Yang, Huiyuan Wang +4
Using a sample of spiral galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) and Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2), we investigate the alignment of spin axes of spiral g…
Beyond Halo Mass: Galactic Conformity as a Smoking Gun of Central Galaxy Assembly Bias
Andrew P. Hearin, Douglas F. Watson, Frank C. van den Bosch
Quenched central galaxies tend to reside in a preferentially quenched large-scale environment, a phenomenon that has been dubbed galactic conformity. Remarkably, this tendency pers…
Statistics of Dark Matter Substructure: II. Comparison of Model with Simulation Results
Frank C. van den Bosch, Fangzhou Jiang
We compare subhalo mass and velocity functions obtained from different simulations with different subhalo finders among each other, and with predictions from the new semi-analytica…
Statistics of Dark Matter Substructure: I. Model and Universal Fitting Functions
Fangzhou Jiang, Frank C. van den Bosch
We present a new, semi-analytical model describing the evolution of dark matter subhaloes. The model uses merger trees constructed using the method of Parkinson et al. (2008) to de…
Predicting Galaxy Star Formation Rates via the Co-evolution of Galaxies and Halos
Douglas F. Watson, Andrew P. Hearin, Andreas A. Berlind +6
In this paper, we test the age matching hypothesis that the star formation rate (SFR) of a galaxy of fixed stellar mass is determined by its dark matter halo formation history, and…
