Simulations of mass accretion onto dark matter haloes and angular momentum transfer to a Milky Way disk at high redshift

<p>This thesis presents results from two simulation studies of galaxy formation. In the first project, a dark-matter-only HORIZON simulation is used to investigate the environment and redshift dependence of mass accretion onto haloes and subhaloes. It is found that the halo accretion rate vari...
