| Abstract: |
In the context of the halo model, the simple — but powerful —
assumption that the number of galaxies only depends on halo mass, the
halo occupation distribution (HOD) model, leads to an accurate
analytic prediction of the galaxy distribution. Reciprocally,
interpreting galaxy clustering using the HOD model allows to make a
direct comparison between galaxy properties and halo mass. By using
accurate galaxy clustering measurements over 133 deg2 of the Wide
component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey
(CFHTLS), we performed a detailed investigation of the changing
relationship between galaxies and the dark matter haloes they inhabit
from z = 1.2 to the local Universe. In this paper, we present our
results and their implication for galaxy evolution. |
