Why Do Semianalytic Models Predict Higher Scatter in the Stellar Mass–Halo Mass Relation Than Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations?

AJ Porras-Valverde, JC Forbes… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Semianalytic models (SAMs) systematically predict higher-stellar mass scatter at a given
halo mass than hydrodynamical simulations and most empirical models. Our goal is to …

Probing the galaxy–halo connection with total satellite luminosity

JL Tinker, J Cao, M Alpaslan, J DeRose… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We demonstrate how the total luminosity in satellite galaxies is a powerful probe of dark
matter haloes around central galaxies. The method cross-correlates central galaxies in …
