The THREEHUNDRED project: the effect of baryon processes at galaxy cluster scale

Abstract

The role of baryon models played in hydrodynamic simulations is still unclear. Future surveys that use cluster statistics to precisely constrain cosmology models require a better understanding of that. With the hydro-simulated galaxy clusters from different baryon models (Gadget-MUSIC, Gadget-X and Gizmo-SIMBA) from the THREEHUNDRED project, we can look into more details of this question. We find that the galaxy cluster mass change due to different baryon models is at a few per cent level. However, the mass changes can be positive or negative, which is depending on the baryon models. Such a small mass change leaves a weak influence (slightly larger compared to the mass changes) on both the cumulative halo numbers and the differential halo mass function (HMF) above the mass completeness. Agreed to the halo mass change, the halo mass (or HMF) can be increased or decreased with respect to the dark-matter-only (DMO) run depending on the baryon models.
