Journal ArticleDOI

Quenching as a Contest between Galaxy Halos and Their Central Black Holes

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the evolutionary tracks of star-forming galaxies are nearly parallel to the green-valley boundaries, and it is mainly the sideways motions of these boundaries with cosmic time that cause galaxies to quench.

Dark Matter and Structure Formation

TL;DR: Dekel and Ostriker as mentioned in this paper presented an introduction to current research on the nature of the cosmological dark matter and the origin of galaxies and large scale structure within the standard theoretical framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finite Temperature Radiative Corrections to Neutron Decay and Related Processes

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed calculation of the radiative corrections at finite temperature to the processes n ν ↔ pe, ne ↔ p ν and n Δ pe ν is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the properties of the remnants of dissipative galaxy mergers

TL;DR: In this paper, a physically motivated model for predicting the properties of the remnants of gaseous galaxy mergers is presented, which is calibrated using a large suite of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) merger simulations.
