The surface-brightness profiles of galaxies I(R) and the density profiles of dark-matter halos rho(r) are well represented by the same analytic function, named after either S\'ersic, I~exp[-(R/R*)^(1/m)], or Einasto,…
We present soft (0.5-2 keV) X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields, derived for galaxies at z~0.25 and 0.75. SED fitting was used to estimate photometric redshifts and separate galaxy…
A semi-analytic model is proposed that couples the Press-Schechter formalism for the number of galaxies with a prescription for galaxy-galaxy interactions that enables to follow the evolution of galaxy morphologies along the Hubble…
In this work we tackle the problem of estimating the density $ f_X $ of a random variable $ X $ by successive smoothing, such that the smoothed random variable $ Y $ fulfills the diffusion partial differential equation $ (\partial_t -…
We describe an efficient algorithm for calculating the statistics of weak lensing by large-scale structure based on a tiled set of independent particle-mesh N-body simulations which telescope in resolution along the line of sight. This…
A fast and practical method is described for calculating the microlensed flux variance of an arbitrary source by uncorrelated stars. The required inputs are the mean convergence and shear due to the smoothed potential of the lensing galaxy,…
Strong gravitational lensing gives access to the total mass distribution of galaxies. It can unveil a great deal of information about the lenses dark matter content when combined with the study of the lenses light profile. However,…
We measure the projected two-point correlation functions of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) One-Percent Survey and model their dependence on stellar mass and [OII] luminosity. We select…
We have combined the semi-analytic galaxy formation model of Guo et al. (2011) with the particle-tagging technique of Cooper et al. (2010) to predict galaxy surface brightness profiles in a representative sample of ~1900 massive dark matter…
In spite of their overall success, semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution predict slopes of luminosity functions which are steeper than the observed ones. This discrepancy has generally been explained by subtle surface…
The Einasto profile has been successful in describing the density profiles of dark matter haloes in $\Lambda$CDM N-body simulations. It has also been able to describe multiple components in the surface brightness profiles of galaxies.…
We present broad-band photometry and provide a quantitative analysis of the structure of galaxies in the inner region of the Abell Cluster 2443 (z~0.1). The galaxy parameters have been derived by fitting a two-component model (Sersic…
We use a unified analytical formulation for the multiplicity functions of clusters and galaxies which is free from the cloud-in-cloud problem encountered in earlier approaches and well adapted to the description of the non-linear clustering…
(Summary) Making use of scaling relations between the central and the total galaxy luminosity of a dark matter halo as a function of the halo mass, and the scatter in these relations, we present an empirical model to describe the luminosity…
Exponential, de Vaucouleurs, and S\'ersic profiles are simple and successful models for fitting two-dimensional images of galaxies. One numerical issue encountered in this kind of fitting is the pixel rendering and convolution (or…
A new method is presented to obtain a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimate of the luminosity function and the selection function of a flux limited redshift survey. The method parameterizes the selection function as a series of…
In this paper, the third of a series dedicated to the investigation of the nuclear properties of spiral galaxies, we have (i) modelled the WFPC2 F606W nuclear surface brightness profiles of 41 spiral galaxies presented in Carollo et al.…
Deep far-infrared (FIR) cosmological surveys are known to be affected by source confusion, causing issues when examining the main sequence (MS) of star forming galaxies. This has typically been partially tackled by the use of stacking.…
The S\'ersic law (SL) offers a versatile functional form for the structural characterization of galaxies near and far. Whereas applying it to galaxies with a genuine SL luminosity distribution yields a robust determination of the S\'ersic…
As a result of a systematic NIR H-band (1.65 micron) imaging survey of normal galaxies in the local universe, we are able to measure in a highly homogeneous way photometric and structural properties for a sample of 1143 galaxies. We base…
