Understanding how galaxy populations emerge and evolve from the growth of dark matter structure is a central challenge in galaxy formation theory. Semi-analytic models (SAMs) provide an efficient framework to address this problem, but…
The empirical HOD model of Wang et al. 2006 fits, by construction, both the stellar mass function and correlation function of galaxies in the local Universe. In contrast, the semi-analytical models of De Lucia & Blazoit 2007 (DLB07) and Guo…
Aims. We aim to perform consistent comparisons between observations and simulations on the mass dependence of the galaxy major merger fraction at low redshift over an unprecedentedly wide range of stellar masses (10^9 to 10^12 solar…
We use nine different galaxy formation scenarios in ten cosmological simulation boxes from the EAGLE suite of {\Lambda}CDM hydrodynamical simulations to assess the impact of feedback mechanisms in galaxy formation and compare these to…
We present results from the semi-analytic model of galaxy formation SAG applied on the MultiDark simulation MDPL2. SAG features an updated supernova (SN) feedback scheme and a robust modelling of the environmental effects on satellite…
A key ingredient for semi-analytic models (SAMs) of galaxy formation is the mass assembly history of haloes, encoded in a tree structure. The most commonly used method to construct halo merger histories is based on the outcomes of…
Intrinsic galaxy alignments constitute the major astrophysical systematic of forthcoming weak gravitational lensing surveys but also yield unique insights into galaxy formation and evolution. We build analytic models for the distribution of…
Using semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, we investigate galaxy properties such as the Tully-Fisher relation, the B and K-band luminosity functions, cold gas contents, sizes, metallicities, and colours, and compare our results with…
Galaxy mass assembly is an end product of structure formation in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. As an extension of Lee \& Yi (2013), we investigate the assembly history of stellar components in galaxies as a function of halo environments and…
We compare the results of the mark correlation analysis of galaxies in a sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and from two galaxy catalogs obtained by semi-analytical galaxy formation models implemented on the Millennium Simulation. We…
We study galaxy clustering using halo models, where gravitational clustering is described in terms of dark matter halos. At small scales, clustering statistics are dominated by halo density profiles, whereas at large scales, correlations…
Galaxies evolve via a complex interaction of numerous different physical processes, scales and components. In spite of this, overall trends often appear. Simplified models for galaxy histories can be used to search for and capture such…
We carry out a systematic investigation of the total mass density profile of massive (Mstar>2e11 Msun) early-type galaxies and its dependence on galactic properties and host halo mass with the aid of a variety of lensing/dynamical data and…
A central challenge in observational studies of galaxy formation is how to associate progenitor galaxies with their descendants at lower redshifts. One promising approach is to link galaxies at fixed number density, rather than fixed…
We combine the Santa-Cruz Semi-Analytic Model (SAM) for galaxy formation and evolution with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) model presented in Faerman et al. (2020) to explore the CGM properties of $L^{*}$ galaxies. We use the SAM to…
Galaxies can form in a sufficiently deep gravitational potential so that efficient gas cooling occurs. We estimate that such potential is provided by a halo of mass $M \gtsim M_{c} \approx 7.0 \times 10^{12} ~ (\Delta_{c}(z)…
We present a new method that simultaneously solves for cosmology and galaxy bias on non-linear scales. The method uses the halo model to analytically describe the (non-linear) matter distribution, and the conditional luminosity function…
We present a new statistical method to determine the relationship between the stellar masses of galaxies and the masses of their host dark matter haloes over the entire cosmic history from z~4 to the present. This multi-epoch abundance…
We present a comparison between the observed galaxy stellar mass function and the one predicted from the De Lucia & Blaizot (2007) semi-analytic model applied to the Millennium Simulation, for cluster satellites and galaxies in the field…
The mass assembly of a whole population of sub-Milky Way galaxies is studied by means of hydrodynamical simulations within the $\Lambda$-CDM cosmology. Our results show that while dark halos assemble hierarchically, in stellar mass this…
