Effects of Cloud Geometry and Metallicity on Shattering and Coagulation of Cold Gas, and Implications for Cold Streams Penetrating Virial Shocks
Zhiyuan Yao, Nir Mandelker, S. Peng Oh +2
Theory and observations reveal that the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and the cosmic web at high redshifts are multiphase, with small clouds of cold gas embedded in a hot, diffuse me…
Entrainment of Hot Gas into Cold Streams: The Origin of Excessive Star-formation Rates at Cosmic Noon
Han Aung, Nir Mandelker, Avishai Dekel +3
We explore the evolution of cold streams from the cosmic web that feed galaxies through their shock-heated circumgalactic medium (CGM) at cosmic noon, . In addition to…
Feedback-Free Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn: Observable Predictions for JWST
Zhaozhou Li, Avishai Dekel, Kartick C. Sarkar +4
We extend the analysis of a physical model within the standard cosmology that robustly predicts a high star-formation efficiency (SFE) in massive galaxies at cosmic dawn due to fee…
The Uchuu-UniverseMachine dataset: Galaxies in and around Clusters
Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai, Anatoly Klypin +7
We present the public data release of the Uchuu-UM galaxy catalogues by applying the UniverseMachine algorithm to assign galaxies to the dark matter halos in the Uchuu -body cos…
A Better Way to Define Dark Matter Haloes
Rafael Garcia, Edgar Salazar, Eduardo Rozo +5
Dark matter haloes have long been recognized as one of the fundamental building blocks of large scale structure formation models. Despite their importance -- or perhaps because of…
C2-GaMe: Classification of Cluster Galaxy Membership with Machine Learning
Daniel Farid, Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai +2
We present Classification of Cluster GAlaxy MEmbers (C-GaMe), a classification algorithm based on a suite of machine learning models that differentiates galaxies into orbiting,…
Accurate Model of the Projected Velocity Distribution of Galaxies in Dark Matter Halos
Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai, Eduardo Rozo +2
We present a percent-level accurate model of the line-of-sight velocity distribution of galaxies around dark matter halos as a function of projected radius and halo mass. The model…
Snowmass 2021 CMB-S4 White Paper
Kevork Abazajian, Arwa Abdulghafour, Graeme E. Addison +353
This Snowmass 2021 White Paper describes the Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 project CMB-S4, which is designed to cross critical thresholds in our understanding of the origin a…
Emulating Sunyaev-Zeldovich Images of Galaxy Clusters using Auto-Encoders
Tibor Rothschild, Daisuke Nagai, Han Aung +3
We develop a machine learning algorithm that generates high-resolution thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) maps of novel galaxy clusters given only halo mass and mass accretion rate. Th…
Galaxy Velocity Bias in Cosmological Simulations: Towards Percent-level Calibration
Dhayaa Anbajagane, Han Aung, August E. Evrard +8
Galaxy cluster masses, rich with cosmological information, can be estimated from internal dark matter (DM) velocity dispersions, which in turn can be observationally inferred from…
Constraining Cluster Virialization Mechanism and Cosmology using Thermal-SZ-selected clusters from Future CMB Surveys
Srinivasan Raghunathan, Nathan Whitehorn, Marcelo A. Alvarez +7
We forecast the number of galaxy clusters that can be detected via the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signals by future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, primarily th…
Shock and Splash: Gas and Dark Matter Halo Boundaries around LambdaCDM Galaxy Clusters
Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai, Erwin T. Lau
Recent advances in simulations and observations of galaxy clusters suggest that there exists a physical outer boundary of massive cluster-size dark matter haloes. In this work, we…
Measuring Cosmological Distances Using Cluster Edges as a Standard Ruler
Erika L. Wagoner, Eduardo Rozo, Han Aung +1
The line-of-sight velocity dispersion profile of galaxy clusters exhibits a "kink" corresponding to the spatial extent of orbiting galaxies. Because the spatial extent of a cluster…
Clusters Have Edges: The Projected Phase SpaceStructure of SDSS redMaPPer Clusters
Paxton Tomooka, Eduardo Rozo, Erika L. Wagoner +3
We study the distribution of line-of-sight velocities of galaxies in the vicinity of SDSS redMaPPer galaxy clusters. Based on their velocities, galaxies can be split into two categ…
The Phase Space Structure of Dark Matter Halos
Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai, Eduardo Rozo +1
The phase space structure of dark matter halos can be used to measure the mass of the halo, infer mass accretion rates, and probe the effects of modified gravity. Previous studies…

Scatter in Sunyaev--Zel'dovich effect scaling relations explained by inter-cluster variance in mass accretion histories
Sheridan B. Green, Han Aung, Daisuke Nagai +1
X-ray and microwave cluster scaling relations are immensely valuable for cosmological analysis. However, their power is limited by astrophysical systematics that bias mass estimate…
Dynamical heating of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium: the roles of merger shocks and turbulence dissipation
