We summarize what large surveys of the contemporary Universe have taught us about the
physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

Modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context presents one of the greatest
challenges in astrophysics today due to the vast range of scales and numerous physical …

We present a new version of the galform semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. This
brings together several previous developments of galform into a single unified model …

We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …

We present a new, open source, free, semi-analytic model (SAM) of galaxy formation, Shark,
designed to be highly flexible and modular, allowing easy exploration of different physical …

Massive present-day early-type (elliptical and lenticular) galaxies probably gained the bulk
of their stellar mass and heavy elements through intense, dust-enshrouded starbursts—that …

Abstract We exploit Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) 870 μm observations of sub-
millimetre sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South to investigate the far-infrared …

In anticipation of the upcoming deployment of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST),
we present high-redshift predictions by the well-established Santa Cruz semi-analytic …

Detailed studies of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of normal galaxies have
increasingly been used to understand the physical mechanism dominating their integrated …

We implement physically motivated recipes for partitioning cold gas into different phases
(atomic, molecular, and ionized) in galaxies within semi-analytic models of galaxy formation …
