Stellar population synthesis models can now reproduce the photometry of old stellar systems (age 2 Gyr) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands at 3.4 and 4.6m (WISE W1 W2 or…
The link between the assembly of the inner dark matter halo and the angular momentum evolution of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation
Jesus Zavala, Carlos S. Frenk, Richard Bower +6
We explore the co-evolution of the specific angular momentum of dark matter haloes and the cold baryons that comprise the galaxies within. We study over two thousand central galaxi…
Galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation and in the Durham and Munich semi-analytical models

We compare the mass and internal distribution of atomic hydrogen (HI) in 2200 present-day central galaxies with M_star > 10^10 M_Sun from the 100 Mpc EAGLE Reference simulation to…
The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles
Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +13
The Local Group of galaxies offer some of the most discriminating tests of models of cosmic structure formation. For example, observations of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda satel…
