Constraints on the cosmological parameters with three-parameter correlation of Gamma-ray bursts

Jia-Lun Li, Yu-Peng Yang, Shuang-Xi Yi +3

As one of the most energetic and brightest events, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be treated as a promising probe of the high-redshift universe. Similar to type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia)…

The role of mergers and gas accretion in black hole growth and galaxy evolution

TianChi Zhang, Qi Guo, Yan Qu +1

We use a semi-analytic galaxy formation model to study the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with their host galaxies. Although the coalescence of SMBHs is not impor…

The effect of hydrodynamics alone on the subhalo population in a CDM rich cluster sized dark matter halo

Junyi Jia, Liang Gao, Yan Qu

We perform a set of non-radiative hydro-dynamical (NHD) simulations of a rich cluster sized dark matter halo from the Phoenix project with 3 different numerical resolutions, to inv…

Gamma-ray luminosity function of BL Lac objects and contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background

Yankun Qu, Houdun Zeng, Dahai Yan

Using a significantly enlarged \textit{Fermi}-LAT BL Lac objects (BL Lacs) sample, we construct the gamma-ray luminosity function (GLF) of BL Lacs, by the joint use of the space de…

Comparing galaxy morphology in hydrodynamical simulation and in semi-analytic model

Lan Wang, Dandan Xu, Liang Gao +3

We compare galaxy morphology predicted by the Illustris hydrodynamical simulation and a semi-analytic model (SAM) grafted in the halo merger trees from the Illustris-Dark matter si…

A chronicle of galaxy mass assembly in the EAGLE simulation

Yan Qu, John C. Helly, Richard G. Bower +8

We analyse the mass assembly of central galaxies in the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations. We build merger trees to connect galaxies to their progenitors at different redshifts and…
