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 …

Over the past decade, observations of the cool interstellar medium (ISM) in distant galaxies
via molecular and atomic fine structure line (FSL) emission have gone from a curious look …

The ATLAS3D project is a multiwavelength survey combined with a theoretical modelling
effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimetre and optical, and provide …

We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts,
quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. By combining theoretically well-constrained halo and …

We present a new semi-analytic model that self-consistently traces the growth of
supermassive black holes (BH) and their host galaxies within the context of the Lambda cold …

Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and
evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress. It is now possible to …

We present a simple theoretical framework for massive galaxies at high redshift, where the
main assembly and star formation occurred, and report on the first cosmological simulations …

We point out a natural mechanism for quenching of star formation in early-type galaxies
(ETGs). It automatically links the color of a galaxy with its morphology and does not require …

Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

The Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) is currently in the process of
transforming our view of star-forming galaxies in the distant (z≳ 1) universe. Before ALMA …
