A cosmological framework for the co-evolution of quasars, supermassive black holes, and elliptical galaxies. I. Galaxy mergers and quasar activity

PF Hopkins, L Hernquist, TJ Cox… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The DEEP2 galaxy redshift survey: Design, observations, data reduction, and redshifts

JA Newman, MC Cooper, M Davis… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe the design and data analysis of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the
densest and largest high-precision redshift survey of galaxies at z∼ 1 completed to date …

Galaxy clustering in the completed SDSS redshift survey: the dependence on color and luminosity

I Zehavi, Z Zheng, DH Weinberg… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the luminosity and color dependence of galaxy clustering in the largest-ever
galaxy redshift survey, the main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data …

A test of the nature of cosmic acceleration using galaxy redshift distortions

L Guzzo, M Pierleoni, B Meneux, E Branchini… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Observations of distant supernovae indicate that the Universe is now in a phase of
accelerated expansion, the physical cause of which is a mystery. Formally, this requires the …

Galaxy evolution from halo occupation distribution modeling of DEEP2 and SDSS galaxy clustering

Z Zheng, AL Coil, I Zehavi - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We model the luminosity-dependent projected two-point correlation function of DEEP2 (z~ 1)
and SDSS (z~ 0) galaxies within the HOD framework. At both epochs, there is a tight …

Host galaxies, clustering, Eddington ratios, and evolution of radio, X-ray, and infrared-selected AGNs

RC Hickox, C Jones, WR Forman… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the connection between different classes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and
the evolution of their host galaxies, by deriving host galaxy properties, clustering, and …

The stellar-to-halo mass relation over the past 12 Gyr-I. Standard ΛCDM model

G Girelli, L Pozzetti, M Bolzonella, C Giocoli… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Aims. Understanding the link between the galaxy properties and the dark matter halos they
reside in and their coevolution is a powerful tool for constraining the processes related to …

Connecting galaxies, halos, and star formation rates across cosmic time

C Conroy, RH Wechsler - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A simple, observationally motivated model is presented for understanding how
halo masses, galaxy stellar masses, and star formation rates are related, and how these …

EVOLUTION OF THE GALAXY–DARK MATTER CONNECTION AND THE ASSEMBLY OF GALAXIES IN DARK MATTER HALOS

X Yang, HJ Mo, FC van den Bosch… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new model to describe the galaxy–dark matter connection across cosmic time,
which unlike the popular subhalo abundance-matching technique is self-consistent in that it …

The demography of supermassive black holes: Growing monsters at the heart of galaxies

F Shankar - New Astronomy Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
Supermassive black holes (BHs) appear to be ubiquitous at the center of all galaxies which
have been observed at high enough sensitivities and resolution with the Hubble Space …
