Impact of Data Loss in Postprocessing on Training and Inference of Quantum Neural Networks

Soraya V. Panambalom, Edoardo Altamura, Nick Chancellor +1

As quantum hardware scales to larger devices, the classical software layers that interface with it must evolve in step. Postprocessing routines developed and tested primarily in si…

Sensitivity of Next-Generation CMB Surveys to Neutrinos and Other Light Relics

Cynthia Trendafilova, Srinivasan Raghunathan, Benjamin Wallisch +33

Neutrinos and other light relics leave characteristic imprints in the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, making their observation a sensitive probe of the particle content a…

Entropy plateaus can emerge from gas replacement at a characteristic halo mass in simulated groups and clusters of galaxies

Edoardo Altamura, Scott T. Kay, Joop Schaye +2

The evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM) is influenced by gravitational collapse, radiative cooling, and baryonic feedback. Using cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulatio…

Inferring the dark matter splashback radius from cluster gas and observable profiles in the FLAMINGO simulations

Imogen Towler, Scott T. Kay, Joop Schaye +10

The splashback radius, coinciding with the minimum in the dark matter radial density gradient, is thought to be a universal definition of the edge of a dark matter halo. Observatio…

Galaxy cluster rotation revealed in the MACSIS simulations with the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

Edoardo Altamura, Scott T. Kay, Jens Chluba +1

The kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect has now become a clear target for ongoing and future studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and cosmology. Aside from the bulk…

The impact of stochastic modeling on the predictive power of galaxy formation simulations

Josh Borrow, Matthieu Schaller, Yannick M. Bahe +5

All modern galaxy formation models employ stochastic elements in their sub-grid prescriptions to discretise continuous equations across the time domain. In this paper, we investiga…

Gas clumping and its effect on hydrostatic bias in the MACSIS simulations

Imogen Towler, Scott Kay, Edoardo Altamura

We use the MACSIS hydrodynamical simulations to estimate the extent of gas clumping in the intracluster medium of massive galaxy clusters and how it affects the hydrostatic mass bi…

EAGLE-like simulation models do not solve the entropy core problem in groups and clusters of galaxies

Edoardo Altamura, Scott T. Kay, Richard G. Bower +5

Recent high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations run with a variety of codes systematically predict large amounts of entropy in the intra-cluster medium at low redshift…

Serendipitous discovery of a physical binary quasar at z=1.76

E. Altamura, S. Brennan, A. Leśniewska +7

Binary quasars are extremely rare objects, used to investigate clustering on very small scales at different redshifts. The cases where the two quasar components are gravitationally…
