The flip-side of galaxy formation: A combined model of Galaxy Formation and Cluster Heating
Richard G. Bower, Ian G. McCarthy, Andrew J. Benson
Only ~10% of baryons in the universe are in the form of stars, yet most models of luminous structure formation have concentrated on the properties of the luminous stellar matter. I…
The impact of mergers on relaxed X-ray clusters - III. Effects on compact cool cores
Gregory B. Poole, Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy +2
(Abridged) We use the simulations presented in Poole et al. 2006 to examine the effects of mergers on compact cool cores in X-ray clusters. We propose a scheme for classifying the…
Testing Cold Dark Matter with the hierarchical buildup of stellar light
Michael L. Balogh, Ian G. McCarthy, Richard G. Bower +1
(Abridged) We demonstrate that the tenet of hierarchical structure growth leads directly to a robust, falsifiable prediction for the correlation between stellar fraction (fstar) an…
