Cosmic CARNage I: on the calibration of galaxy formation models
Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez +31
We present a comparison of nine galaxy formation models, eight semi-analytical and one halo occupation distribution model, run on the same underlying cold dark matter simulation (c…
MultiDark-Galaxies: data release and first results
Alexander Knebe, Doris Stoppacher, Francisco Prada +18
We present the public release of the MultiDark-Galaxies: three distinct galaxy catalogues derived from one of the Planck cosmology MultiDark simulations (i.e. MDPL2, with a volume…
Predicting Hα emission line galaxy counts for future galaxy redshift surveys
Alexander Merson, Yun Wang, Andrew Benson +4
Knowledge of the number density of H emitting galaxies is vital for assessing the scientific impact of the Euclid and WFIRST missions. In this work we present predictions from a…
DESCQA: An Automated Validation Framework for Synthetic Sky Catalogs
Yao-Yuan Mao, Eve Kovacs, Katrin Heitmann +24
The use of high-quality simulated sky catalogs is essential for the success of cosmological surveys. The catalogs have diverse applications, such as investigating signatures of fun…
Quantifying the Origin and Distribution of Intracluster Light in a Fornax-like Cluster
Kathryn A. Harris, Victor P. Debattista, Fabio Governato +9
Using a cosmological -body simulation, we investigate the origin and distribution of stars in the intracluster light (ICL) of a Fornax-like cluster. In a dark matter only simula…
Constraining the Noise-Free Distribution of Halo Spin Parameters
Andrew J. Benson
Any measurement made using an N-body simulation is subject to noise due to the finite number of particles used to sample the dark matter distribution function, and the lack of stru…
