The Galaxy Dark Matter Connection
Frank C. van den Bosch, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo
What galaxy lives in what halo? The answer to this simple question holds important information regarding galaxy formation and evolution. We describe a new statistical technique to…
The Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies
Shude Mao, H. J. Mo, Simon D. M. White
We review some of our recent progress in modelling the formation of disk galaxies in the framework of hierarchical structure formation. Our model is not only consistent with the lo…
Observational constraints on disk galaxy formation
D. Syer, Shude Mao, H. J. Mo
We use data from the literature to constrain theoretical models of galaxy formation. We show how to calculate the dimensionless spin parameter of the halos of disk galaxies and…
Gaseous Galactic Halos and QSO Absorption Line Systems
H. J. Mo
Recent observations have shown that (some) metal line absorption systems in QSO spectra arise from gas in galactic halos with radii much larger than the optical radii of galaxies.…
