Four phases of angular-momentum buildup in high-z galaxies: from cosmic-web streams through an extended ring to disc and bulge

M Danovich, A Dekel, O Hahn… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2015 - academic.oup.com

Clustering of dark matter tracers: generalizing bias for the coming era of precision LSS

P McDonald, A Roy - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
On very large scales, density fluctuations in the Universe are small, suggesting a
perturbative model for large-scale clustering of galaxies (or other dark matter tracers), in …

Properties of dark matter haloes in clusters, filaments, sheets and voids

the Millennium simulation. Our sample spans halo masses ranging from dwarf galaxies to …

The origin of discs and spheroids in simulated galaxies

LV Sales, JF Navarro, T Theuns… - Monthly Notices of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
The major morphological features of a galaxy are thought to be determined by the assembly
history and net spin of its surrounding dark halo. In the simplest scenario, disc galaxies form …
