How do galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, luminosity, star formation rate, and morphology) and their evolution depend on the mass of their host dark matter halo? Using the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) group catalogue, we address…
(abridged)We use a sample of ~200,000 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study how clustering depends on properties such as stellar mass (M*), colour (g-r), 4000A break strength (D4000), concentration index (C), and stellar…
We report the intermediate-scale (0.3 to 40 Mpc/h) clustering of 35,000 luminous early-type galaxies at redshifts 0.16 to 0.44 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We present the redshift-space two-point correlation function \xi(s), the…
In a recent preprint, Hearin et al. (2012,H12) suggest that the halo mass-richness calibration of clusters can be improved by using the difference in the magnitude of the brightest and the second brightest galaxy (magnitude gap) as an…
A generic prediction of hierarchical clustering models is that the mass function of dark haloes in dense regions in the Universe should be top-heavy. We provide a novel test of this prediction using a sample of galaxies drawn from the Sloan…
We measure the projected spatial correlation function w_p(r_p) from a large sample combining GALEX ultraviolet imaging with the SDSS spectroscopic sample. We study the dependence of the clustering strength for samples selected on (NUV -…
We employ high-resolution dissipationless simulations of the concordance LCDM cosmology to model the observed luminosity dependence and evolution of galaxy clustering through most of the age of the universe, from z~5 to z~0. We use a…
We study the role of major and minor mergers in the mass growth of luminous red galaxies. We present small-scale ($0.01<r<8\,\hMpc$) projected cross-correlation functions of $23043$ luminous early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky…
We use the two-point correlation function to calculate the clustering properties of the recently completed SSRS2 survey. The redshift space correlation function for the magnitude-limited SSRS2 is given by xi(s)=(s/5.85 h-1 Mpc)^{-1.60} for…
We present a universal linear correlation between the stellar mass and surface brightness (SB) of galaxies at 0.3<z<3, using a deep K-band selected catalog in the GOODS-North region. The correlation has a nearly constant slope, independent…
We report small-scale clustering measurements from the PRIMUS spectroscopic redshift survey as a function of color and luminosity. We measure the real-space cross-correlations between 62,106 primary galaxies with PRIMUS redshifts and a…
We present a study on the variations of the luminosity function of galaxies around clusters in a numerical simulation with semi-analytic galaxies, attempting to detect these variations in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. We subdivide the…
The kinematics of satellite galaxies reflect the masses of the extended dark matter haloes in which they orbit, and thus shed light on the mass-luminosity relation (MLR) of their corresponding central galaxies. In this paper we select a…
Current analytic and semi-analytic dark matter halo models distinguish between the central galaxy in a halo and the satellite galaxies in halo substructures. Using a recent halo-model description of the color dependence of galaxy clustering…
We investigate the evolution of galaxy clustering for galaxies in the redshift range 2.0<$z$<5.0 using the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS). We present the projected (real-space) two-point correlation function $w_p(r_p)$ measured by using…
We study the occupation statistics of galaxies in dark matter haloes using galaxy groups identified from the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey with the halo-based group finder of Yang et al. The occupation distribution is considered…
Observables such as the luminosity function of galaxies, \Phi(M), the projected clustering of galaxies, w_p(r_p), and the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal, \Delta\Sigma, are often measured from galaxy redshift surveys assuming a fiducial…
We investigate the dependence of galaxy clustering at $z \sim 4 - 7$ on UV-luminosity and stellar mass. Our sample consists of $\sim$ 10,000 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the XDF and CANDELS fields. As part of our analysis, the $M_\star -…
We use a complete and uniform sample of almost half a million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to characterise the distribution of stellar mass in the low-redshift Universe. Galaxy abundances are well determined over almost four…
We study the clustering properties of K-selected galaxies at 2<z<3.5 using deep multiwavelength imaging in three fields from the MUSYC survey. These are the first measurements to probe the spatial correlation function of K-selected galaxies…
