Paper time! The dependence of the galaxy stellar-to-halo mass relation on galaxy morphology

By camilacorrea | July 1, 2020October 23, 2020 by camilacorrea

In this work, Joop Schaye and myself investigate the dependence of the local galaxy stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) on galaxy morphology. We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 with morphological classifications from…

Paper time! Constraining Velocity-dependent Self-Interacting Dark Matter with the Milky Way’s dwarf spheroidal galaxies

By camilacorrea | July 1, 2020October 23, 2020 by camilacorrea

In this work, recently submitted to Monthly Notices, I am analysing the observed anti-correlation between the central dark matter (DM) densities of the bright Milky Way (MW) dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and their orbital pericenter…

Willem Kroese & Julius Hendrix investigated the evolution of red-to-blue galaxies in the EAGLE simulations

By camilacorrea | July 22, 2019July 24, 2019 by camilacorrea

Willem Kroese and Julius Hendrix have recently completed the bachelor research project at Leiden University. I have had the pleasure to be Willem & Julius’ main supervisor. The students investigated the physical origin of rejuvenation…

The relation between galaxy morphology and colour in the EAGLE simulation

By camilacorrea | August 21, 2017July 21, 2019 by camilacorrea

The morphology of galaxies is typically characterised either by extensive visual inspection (e.g. Galaxy Zoo project, Lintott et al. 2011) or through the stellar kinematics (e.g. Emsellem et al. 2007).

The physical origin of the universal function that describes the accretion history of dark matter haloes

By camilacorrea | August 19, 2017July 21, 2019 by camilacorrea

Understanding the universal accretion history of dark matter haloes is the first step towards determining the origin of their structure. Previous studies have quantified halo mass accretion histories using catalogues of halos from numerical simulations,…

The formation of hot gaseous haloes around galaxies

By camilacorrea | August 15, 2017July 21, 2019 by camilacorrea

One of the major goals of modern galaxy formation theory is to understand the physical mechanisms that halt the star formation process, by either removing, heating or preventing the infall of cold gas onto the…
