Inferring halo masses with Graph Neural Networks

Pablo Villanueva-Domingo, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +7

Understanding the halo-galaxy connection is fundamental in order to improve our knowledge on the nature and properties of dark matter. In this work we build a model that infers the…

The CAMELS Multifield Dataset: Learning the Universe's Fundamental Parameters with Artificial Intelligence

Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +25

We present the Cosmology and Astrophysics with MachinE Learning Simulations (CAMELS) Multifield Dataset, CMD, a collection of hundreds of thousands of 2D maps and 3D grids containi…

Robust marginalization of baryonic effects for cosmological inference at the field level

Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +11

We train neural networks to perform likelihood-free inference from 2D maps containing the total mass surface density from thousands of hydrodynamic simula…

Inpainting hydrodynamical maps with deep learning

Faizan G. Mohammad, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel +2

From 1,000 hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project, each with a different value of the cosmological and astrophysical parameters, we generate 15,000 gas temperature maps. We…

Finding universal relations in subhalo properties with artificial intelligence

Helen Shao, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel +7

We use a generic formalism designed to search for relations in high-dimensional spaces to determine if the total mass of a subhalo can be predicted from other internal properties s…

Reionization with Simba: How much does astrophysics matter in modeling cosmic reionization?

Sultan Hassan, Romeel Davé, Matthew McQuinn +5

Traditional large-scale models of reionization usually employ simple deterministic relations between halo mass and luminosity to predict how reionization proceeds. We here examine…

Neutral CGM as damped Lyα absorbers at high redshift

Jonathan Stern, Amiel Sternberg, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +8

Recent searches for the hosts of high-redshift () damped Ly absorbers (DLAs) have detected bright galaxies at distances of tens of kpc from the DLA. Using the FIRE-2 c…

Why do Black Holes Trace Bulges (& Central Surface Densities), Instead of Galaxies as a Whole?

Philip F. Hopkins, Sarah Wellons, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +2

Previous studies of fueling black holes (BHs) in galactic nuclei have argued (on scales ~0.01-1000pc) accretion is dynamical with inflow rates $\dot{M}\simη\,M_{\rm gas}/t_{\rm dyn…

Characterizing mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations

Viraj Pandya, Drummond B. Fielding, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +14

We characterize mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in a suite of FIRE-2 cosmological "zoom-in" simulations from the Feedback in Realistic…

Seeds Don't Sink: Even Massive Black Hole "Seeds" Cannot Migrate to Galaxy Centers Efficiently

Linhao Ma, Philip F. Hopkins, Xiangcheng Ma +3

Possible formation scenarios of supermassive black holes in the early universe include rapid growth from less massive seed black holes (BHs) via super-Eddington accretion or runawa…
