pop-cosmos: Disentangling galaxy properties from observables using data-driven approaches
Benedict Van den Bussche, Sinan Deger, Hiranya V. Peiris +6
The physical processes that shape a galaxy's spectrum are strongly degenerate in observations, obscuring which processes act independently. Leveraging the pop-cosmos generative gal…
pop-cosmos: Galaxy size evolution across structural and star-formation classifications in COSMOS-Web
Madalina N. Tudorache, Hiranya V. Peiris, Stephen Thorp +7
Galaxy sizes are correlated with stellar mass and redshift, as characterised by size scaling relations. The inferred forms of these scaling relations are sensitive to how galaxies…
Thermostats, Not Engines: A New Picture of Halo Gas Regulation
Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Madalina N. Tudorache +5
We propose that black hole feedback regulates gas in massive halos by establishing an entropy ceiling; the resulting buoyant gas migrates to the virial radius with no additional en…
StAD: Stein Amortized Divergence for Fast Likelihoods with Diffusion and Flow
Gurjeet Jagwani, Stephen Thorp, Sinan Deger +1
Diffusion and flow-based models are ubiquitously used for generative modelling and density estimation. They admit a deterministic probability flow ordinary differential equation (P…
pop-cosmos: Star formation over 12 Gyr from generative modelling of a deep infrared-selected galaxy catalogue
Sinan Deger, Hiranya V. Peiris, Stephen Thorp +5
We study star formation over 12 Gyr using pop-cosmos, a generative model trained on 26-band photometry of 420,000 COSMOS2020 galaxies (IRAC Ch.1 ). The model learns distributi…
pop-cosmos: Forward modeling KiDS-1000 redshift distributions using realistic galaxy populations
Boris Leistedt, Hiranya V. Peiris, Anik Halder +13
The accuracy of the cosmological constraints from Stage~IV galaxy surveys will be limited by how well the galaxy redshift distributions can be inferred. We have addressed this chal…
