The connection between galaxies and their dark matter halos

RH Wechsler, JL Tinker - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
In our modern understanding of galaxy formation, every galaxy forms within a dark matter
halo. The formation and growth of galaxies over time is connected to the growth of the halos …

Wet compaction to a blue nugget: a critical phase in galaxy evolution

S Lapiner, A Dekel, J Freundlich… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend
to undergo a robust 'wet compaction'event when near a 'golden'stellar mass of. This is a …

MultiDark simulations: the story of dark matter halo concentrations and density profiles

The average star formation histories of galaxies in dark matter halos from z= 0–8

PS Behroozi, RH Wechsler… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a robust method to constrain average galaxy star formation rates (SFRs), star
formation histories (SFHs), and the intracluster light (ICL) as a function of halo mass. Our …

An accurate physical model for halo concentrations

B Diemer, M Joyce - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The relation between halo mass, M, and concentration, c, is a critical component in our
understanding of the structure of dark matter halos. While numerous models for this relation …
