Henriques B., Thomas P., Oliver S., Roseboom I., MNRAS, 2009 MCMC Parameter Sampling Henriques B., Thomas P., MNRAS, 2010 Complex galaxy formation physics Semi-analytic modelling MCMC Large Volume Across Cosmic Time Constrain the model at multiple redshifts Choose observational constraints Stellar Mass Function, K-band & B-band Luminosity Functions Choose parameters to sample Star formation, SN feedback, AGN feedback efficiency, Metals yield
Time varying parameters A clear & unique change was revealed by the pre-processing step Reincorporation of gas after ejection by SN feedback ( high-z low-z ) All other parameters have consistent regions at all z Any other parametrisation with time is ruled out, for example, in our model, a change in star formation efficiency is ruled out.
New parametrization Reincorporation time scaling with Mvir, due to the slow down of outgoing material caused by dynamical friction.
Strong ejection + no reincorporation set the low mass end at high-z Single Set Strong reincorporation at later times produces the required build up for z<1
Colors and SFR The delayed reincorporation of gas shifts star formation towards lower redshift. Dwarfs are bluer, have higher star formation rates and younger ages.
Clustering Dwarf galaxies form later, in higher mass halos that are less cluster. Galaxy formation physics, and not just cosmology, have a strong impact on galaxy clusterin.
Conclusions Extend the MCMC sampling to multiple redshifts for a wide range of observations, taking full advantage of the self-consistent evolution of galaxies Pre-processing step that shows Guo11 parametrization to be nearly optimal at z=0. Reincorporation change required by the evolution of galaxy properties. Simple adjustment to the model allows us to get a reasonable fit at all redshifts for the masses, K-band and B-band luminosities. There is no longer an excess of dwarfs at high redshift Evolution of the massive end is reproduced across cosmic time
Extended MCMC Capabilities Observational constraints at multiple redshifts Stellar mass and luminosity functions constraints from z=3 to z=0 Takes full advantage of the self-consistent evolution of galaxies Time-evolution of parameters (pre-processing step) If not needed, the current parametrisation is not ruled out by observations If needed, a different parametrisation is required (it rules out any others) If a good fit can not be found, the current model is ruled out
