Galaxy Groups in the SDSS DR4. I. The Catalog and Basic Properties
We use a modified version of the halo-based group finder developed by Yang et al. to select galaxy groups from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4). In the first step, a combination of two methods… Expand
COLD GASS, an IRAM legacy survey of molecular gas in massive galaxies – I. Relations between H2, H i, stellar content and structural properties
- A. Saintonge, G. Kauffmann, +21 authors A. Sievers
- Physics
- 8 March 2011
We are conducting COLD GASS, a legacy survey for molecular gas in nearby galaxies. Using the IRAM 30-m telescope, we measure the CO(1-0) line in a sample of similar to 350 nearby (D-L similar or… Expand
How do galaxies populate dark matter haloes
- Q. Guo, S. White, C. Li, M. Boylan-Kolchin
- Physics
- 24 September 2009
For any assumed standard stellar initial mass function, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) gives a precise determination of the abundance of galaxies as a function of their stellar mass over the… Expand
The distribution of stellar mass in the low‐redshift Universe
We use a complete and uniform sample of almost half a million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to characterize the distribution of stellar mass in the low-redshift Universe. Galaxy… Expand
COLD GASS, an IRAM legacy survey of molecular gas in massive galaxies - II. The non-universality of the molecular gas depletion time-scale
- A. Saintonge, G. Kauffmann, +21 authors A. Sievers
- Physics
- 31 March 2011
We study the relation between molecular gas and star formation in a volume-limited sample of 222 galaxies from the COLD GASS survey, with measurements of the CO(1–0) line from the IRAM 30-m… Expand
A Fitting Formula for the Merger Timescale of Galaxies in Hierarchical Clustering
- C. Y. Jiang, Y. Jing, A. Faltenbacher, Weipeng Lin, C. Li
- Physics
- 18 July 2007
We study galaxy mergers using a high-resolution cosmological hydro/N-body simulation with star formation and compare the measured merger timescales with theoretical predictions based on the… Expand
Electroweak measurements in electron positron collisions at W-boson-pair energies at LEP
- S. Schael, R. Barate, +1,622 authors L. Živković
- Physics
- 30 November 2013
Electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the electron-positron collider LEP at CERN from 1995 to 2000 are reported. The combined data set considered in this report corresponds to a total… Expand
The dependence of clustering on galaxy properties
We use a sample of similar to 200 000 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with 0.01 5 h(-1) Mpc). This large-scale clustering dependence is not seen for the parameters C or mu*.… Expand
A Re-examination of Galactic Conformity and a Comparison with Semi-analytic Models of Galaxy Formation
- G. Kauffmann, C. Li, W. Zhang, S. Weinmann
- Physics
- 14 September 2012
The observed correlation between star-formation in central galaxies and in their neighbours (a phenomenon dubbed “galactic conformity”) is in need of a convincing physical explanation. To gain… Expand
The clustering of narrow-line AGN in the local universe
- C. Li, G. Kauffmann, L. Wang, S. White, T. Heckman, Y. Jing
- Physics
- 21 July 2006
We have analysed the clustering of ∼90 000 narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) drawn from the Data Release 4 (DR4) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our analysis addresses the following… Expand
