Veni fellow@UvA Amsterdam, simulating the Universe, investigating the nature of dark matter
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).
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,…
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…
Correa C. A., Wyithe J. S. B., Schaye J., Duffy A. R., 2015c, MNRAS, 452, 1217 Over the past few years large cosmological simulations have been performed to determine the properties of dark matter haloes,…
Dark matter halos provide the potential wells inside which galaxies form. As a result, understanding their basic properties, including their formation history and internal structure, is an important step for understanding galaxy evolution. In this…
