The connection between galaxies and their dark matter halos

RH Wechsler, JL Tinker - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org

halo. The formation and growth of galaxies over time is connected to the growth of the halos …

Large-scale galaxy bias

V Desjacques, D Jeong, F Schmidt - Physics reports, 2018 - Elsevier
This review presents a comprehensive overview of galaxy bias, that is, the statistical relation
between the distribution of galaxies and matter. We focus on large scales where cosmic …

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: matter and galaxy clustering

V Springel, R Pakmor, A Pillepich… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation have now reached sufficient volume to
make precision predictions for clustering on cosmologically relevant scales. Here, we use …

emerge – an empirical model for the formation of galaxies since z ∼ 10

Abstract The Core Cosmology Library (CCL) provides routines to compute basic
cosmological observables to a high degree of accuracy, which have been verified with an …

Observational probes of cosmic acceleration

DH Weinberg, MJ Mortonson, DJ Eisenstein, C Hirata… - Physics reports, 2013 - Elsevier
The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in
many decades, implying that the universe is dominated by some form of “dark energy” with …

Consistent lensing and clustering in a low-S8 Universe with BOSS, DES Year 3, HSC Year 1, and KiDS-1000

A Amon, NC Robertson, H Miyatake… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We evaluate the consistency between lensing and clustering based on measurements from
Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey combined with galaxy–galaxy lensing from Dark …

corrfunc – a suite of blazing fast correlation functions on the CPU

M Sinha, LH Garrison - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The two-point correlation function (2PCF) is the most widely used tool for quantifying the
spatial distribution of galaxies. Since the distribution of galaxies is determined by galaxy …

AbacusHOD: a highly efficient extended multitracer HOD framework and its application to BOSS and eBOSS data

S Yuan, LH Garrison, B Hadzhiyska… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We introduce the AbacusHOD model and present two applications of AbacusHOD and the
AbacusSummit simulations to observations. AbacusHOD is a Halo Occupation Distribution …

A redshift-independent efficiency model: star formation and stellar masses in dark matter halos at z≳ 4

S Tacchella, S Bose, C Conroy… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the connection between the UV luminosity functions (LFs) of high-z galaxies and
the distribution of stellar masses and star formation histories (SFHs) in their host dark matter …
