A simple model of the hierarchical formation of galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop a simple, fast and predictive model of the hierarchical formation of galaxies which is in quantitative agreement with observations. Comparing simulations with observations we place constraints on the density of the universe and on the power spectrum of density fluctuations.

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملEvaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
متن کاملLyman Alpha Emitters in the Hierarchically Clustering Galaxy Formation
We present a new theoretical model for the luminosity functions (LFs) of Lyα emitting galaxies in the framework of hierarchical galaxy formation. We extend a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation that reproduces a number of observations for local galaxies, without changing the original model parameters but introducing a physically-motivated modelling to describe the escape fraction of Lyα pho...
متن کاملGalaxy Number Counts in the Subaru Deep Field: Multi-band Analysis in a Hierarchical Galaxy Formation Model
Number counts of galaxies are re-analyzed using a semi-analytic model (SAM) of galaxy formation based on the hierarchical clustering scenario. Faint galaxies in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF, near-infrared J and K) and the Hubble Deep Field (HDF, ultraviolet/optical U , B, V , and I) are compared with our model galaxies. We have determined the astrophysical parameters in the SAM that reproduce obs...
متن کامل0 A ug 1 99 8 Early Type galaxies in the Hierarchical
Any realistic theory of galaxy formation must be set in the context of a model for the formation of structure in the universe. We describe a powerful approach – semi-analytic modelling – that combines a set of simple rules describing the gas processes involved in galaxy formation with a scheme to follow the hierarchical growth of dark matter haloes. Surprisingly few free parameters are required...
