We present a comprehensive review of keV-scale sterile neutrino Dark Matter, collecting
views and insights from all disciplines involved—cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear, and …

We review the current theory of how galaxies form within the cosmological framework
provided by the cold dark matter paradigm for structure formation. Beginning with the pre …

One of the key open questions in extragalactic astronomy is what stops star formation in
galaxies. While it is clear that the cold gas reservoir, which fuels the formation of new stars …

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA
(Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the …

We have updated the Munich galaxy formation model to the Planck first-year cosmology,
while modifying the treatment of baryonic processes to reproduce recent data on the …

We demonstrate a novel technology that combines the power of the multi-object
spectrograph with the spatial multiplex advantage of an integral field spectrograph (IFS). The …

Satellite galaxies in groups and clusters are more likely to have low star formation rates
(SFRs) and lie on the 'red sequence'than central ('field') galaxies. Using galaxy group/cluster …

We have updated and extended our semi-analytic galaxy formation modelling capabilities
and applied them simultaneously to the stored halo/subhalo merger trees of the Millennium …

The abundance and structure of dark matter subhaloes have been analysed extensively in
recent studies of dark-matter-only simulations, but comparatively little is known about the …

Using galaxy group/cluster catalogues created from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data
Release 7, we examine in detail the specific star formation rate (SSFR) distribution of …
