My first major paper in my career in astrophysics has now been made public to the scientific community, and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for consideration. It is the first paper to appear in the community with my name attached as an author, but even more important, it is also my first FIRST author paper. That means this paper is essentially "mine" insomuch as any paper with mulitple authors can belong to a single author.
I believe it also represents a very interesting and important topic of research, regarding our current understanding of galaxy formation in a LCDM universe (current best-guess of nature of the universe).
The abstract, and links to a free pdf download of the paper, can be found here.
This paper began as a short 3-4 page "letter" paper, sometime in March-April earlier this year, so this has been a long time coming, and it feels great to finally have it out there!
