Journal ArticleDOI
GADGET: a code for collisionless and gasdynamical cosmological simulations
TL;DR: The newly written code GADGET is described, which is suitable both for cosmological simulations of structure formation and for the simulation of interacting galaxies, and a parallel version that has been designed to run on massively parallel supercomputers with distributed memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The environmental dependence of the relations between stellar mass, structure, star formation and nuclear activity in galaxies
Guinevere Kauffmann,Simon D. M. White,Timothy M. Heckman,Brice Ménard,Jarle Brinchmann,Stephane Charlot,Christy Tremonti,Jon Brinkmann +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a sample of galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study how structure, star formation and nuclear activity depend on local density and on stellar mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ages and metallicities of galaxies in the local universe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived stellar metallicities, light-weighted ages and stellar masses for a magnitude-limited sample of 175 128 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Two (SDSS DR2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Clustering of galaxies in a hierarchical universe - I. Methods and results at z=0
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and evolution of galaxies in cosmological N-body simulations are used to track the formation of dark matter halos as a function of redshift, where simple prescriptions are adopted for gas cooling, star formation, supernova feedback and the merging of galaxies within the halos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intergalactic stars in z∼ 0.25 galaxy clusters: systematic properties from stacking of Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging data
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution and colour of the intracluster light (ICL) in 683 clusters of galaxies between z = 0.2 and 0.3, selected from ∼1500 deg 2 of the first data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR1).
