Modelling the Formation of Individual Galaxies: A Morphology Problem for CDM?
James E. Taylor, Arif Babul
We use a semi-analytic model of halo formation to study the dynamical history of giant field galaxies like the Milky Way. We find that in a concordance LCDM cosmology, most isolate…
New Tests of the Cluster Entropy Floor Hypothesis
Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul, Michael L. Balogh +1
Recent efforts to account for the observed X-ray luminosity - temperature relation of galaxy clusters has led to suggestions that the ICM has an apparent ``entropy floor'' at or ab…
The Cluster Gas Mass - Temperature Relation: Evidence for a High Level of Preheating
Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul, Michael L. Balogh
Recent X-ray observations have been used to demonstrate that the cluster gas mass-temperature relation is steeper than theoretical self-similar predictions drawn from numerical sim…
A Semi-analytic Model of Halo Dynamics
James E. Taylor, Arif Babul
We have developed a new semi-analytic model for the formation and evolution of structure on galaxy, group and cluster scales. The model combines merger trees with a detailed, spati…
