We quantify the quenching impact of the group environment using the spectroscopic survey Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) to z=0.2. The fraction of red (quiescent) galaxies, whether in groups or isolated, increases with both stellar mass and…

We present a measurement of the correlation function between luminous red galaxies and cool gas traced by Mg II \lambda \lambda 2796, 2803 absorption, on scales ranging from about 30 kpc to 20 Mpc. The measurement is based on…

We extend our previous physically-based halo occupation distribution models to include the dependence of clustering on the spectral energy distributions of galaxies. The high resolution Millennium Simulation is used to specify the positions…

The build-up of stellar mass in galaxies is the consequence of their past star formation and merging histories. Here we report measurements of rest-frame optical light and calculations of stellar mass at high redshift based on an…

In this work, we use measurements of galaxy stellar mass and two-point angular correlation functions to constrain the stellar-to-halo mass ratios (SHMRs) of passive and \np\ galaxies at $z\sim2-3$, as identified in the \emph{Spitzer}…

We present measurements of the spatial clustering of ultraluminous infrared galaxies in two redshift intervals, 1.5<z<2.0 and 2<z<3. Both samples cluster strongly, with r_0=14.40+/-1.99 h^-1 Mpc for the 2<z<3 sample, and r_0=9.40+/-2.24…

Wide field near-infrared (IR) surveys have revealed a population of galaxies with very red optical$-$IR colors, which have been termed ``Extremely Red Objects'' (EROs). Modeling suggests that such red colors (R-K > 5) could be produced by…

Using three newly identified galaxy clusters at z~1 (photometric redshift) we measure the evolution of the galaxies within clusters from high redshift to the present day by studying the growth of the red cluster sequence. The clusters are…

We study the relation between halo concentration and mass (c-M relation) using the Seventh and Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR7 and DR8) galaxy catalogue. Assuming that the satellite galaxies follow the…

We analyse the evolution of the red sequence in a sample of galaxy clusters at redshifts $0.8<z<1.5$ taken from the HAWK-I Cluster Survey (HCS). The comparison with the low-redshift ($0.04<z<0.08$) sample of the WIde-field Nearby…

We measure the evolution in the virial mass-to-light ratio (M_{200}/L_B) and virial-to-stellar mass ratio (M_{200}/M_\ast) for isolated ~ L* galaxies between z~1 and z~0 by combining data from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Sloan…

We investigate the variations in galaxy occupancy of the dark matter haloes with the large-scale environment and halo formation time, using two state-of-the-art hydrodynamical cosmological simulations, EAGLE and Illustris. For both…

We introduce a toy model that describes (in a single equation) the mass in stars as a function of halo mass and redshift. Our model includes the suppression of gas accretion from gravitational shock heating and AGN jets mainly for M_halo >…

Stellar mass has been shown to correlate with halo mass, with non-negligible scatter. The stellar mass-size and luminosity-size relationships of galaxies also show significant scatter in galaxy size at fixed stellar mass. It is possible…

Investigations of intrinsic alignments suggest a link between the alignment of a central galaxy's major axis with the galaxy distribution and its internal galaxy-halo shape alignment. In contrast, blue central galaxies typically exhibit…

Using the self-consistent modeling of the conditional stellar mass functions across cosmic time by Yang et al. (2012), we make model predictions for the star formation histories (SFHs) of {\it central} galaxies in halos of different masses.…

Tidally limited star clusters are started on nearly circular orbits in the dark matter sub-halos present at high redshift and evolved with an n-body code augmented with gravitational interactions in the clusters. The tidally removed stars…

We study the evolution of the luminosity-to-halo mass relation of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). We select a sample of 52 000 LOWZ and CMASS LRGs from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) SDSS-DR10 in the ~450 deg^2 that…

We present a numerical study of the evolution of galaxy clustering when galaxies flow passively from high redshift, respecting the continuity equation throughout. While passive flow is a special case of galaxy evolution, it allows a…
