UniverseMachine: The correlation between galaxy growth and dark matter halo assembly from z = 0−10
We present a method to flexibly and self-consistently determine individual galaxies' star
formation rates (SFRs) from their host haloes' potential well depths, assembly histories, and …

Galaxy alignments: Observations and impact on cosmology
Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that
can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of …
