TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi-analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the concordance A cold dark matter cosmogony.

TL;DR: Using a new survey of more than 10,000 faint galaxies, the anisotropy parameter β = 0.70 ± 0.26 is measured, which is consistent with the standard cosmological-constant model with low matter density and flat geometry, although the error bars are still too large to distinguish among alternative origins for the accelerated expansion.

TL;DR: In this article, a suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of individual dark matter haloes is presented, which is based on the Aquarius project, and the authors find that accreted stellar haloes are assembled between 1 < z < 7 from less than five significant progenitors.

TL;DR: The first data release of the VIPERS survey is presented in this article, where the authors present the general real and redshift-space clustering properties of galaxies as measured in the first data set.

TL;DR: In this article, the properties of substructures within dark matter haloes (subhaloes) were analyzed using a set of high-resolution numerical simulations of the formation of structure in a ACDM universe.
