Cosmic Star-Formation History

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the range of complementary techniques and theoretical tools that allow astronomers to map the cosmic history of star formation, heavy element production, and reionization of the Universe from the cosmic "dark ages" to the present epoch.

Dark Matter Substructure within Galactic Halos

TL;DR: In this article, the substructure clumps are on orbits that take a large fraction of them through the stellar disk, leading to significant resonant and impulsive heating, and the model predicts that the virialized extent of the Milky Way's halo should contain about 500 satellites with circular velocities larger than the Draco and Ursa Minor systems, i.e., bound masses 108 M☉ and tidally limited sizes 1 kpc.

Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation

TL;DR: In this paper, a new implementation of the Durham semi-analytic model of galaxy formation in which feedback due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) is assumed to quench cooling flows in massive halos is discussed.
