Clustering effects on the Dark Siren determination of : A simulation study

Marios Kalomenopoulos, Riccardo Barbieri, Sadegh Khochfar +2

Gravitational waves (GWs) offer an alternative way to measure the Hubble parameter. The optimal technique, the ``bright siren'' approach, requires the identification of an electrom…

SOAP: A Python Package for Calculating the Properties of Galaxies and Halos Formed in Cosmological Simulations

Robert McGibbon, John C. Helly, Joop Schaye +2

Modern large scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations require robust tools capable of analysing their data outputs in a parallel and efficient manner. We introduce SOAP (Spheric…

Cosmological feedback from a halo assembly perspective

Luisa Lucie-Smith, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen +6

The impact of feedback from galaxy formation on cosmological probes is typically quantified in terms of the suppression of the matter power spectrum in hydrodynamical compared to g…

Unbiased estimates of the shapes of haloes using the positions of satellite galaxies

A. Herle, N. E. Chisari, H. Hoekstra +4

The shapes of dark matter haloes are sensitive to both cosmology and baryon physics, but are difficult to measure observationally. A promising way to constrain them is to use the p…

Assessing subhalo finders in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations

Victor J. Forouhar Moreno, John Helly, Robert McGibbon +5

Cosmological simulations are essential for inferring cosmological and galaxy population properties based on forward-modelling, but this typically requires finding the population of…

On the accuracy of dark matter halo merger trees and the consequences for semi-analytic models of galaxy formation

Ángel Chandro-Gómez, Claudia del P. Lagos, Chris Power +6

Galaxy formation and evolution models, such as semi-analytic models, are powerful theoretical tools for predicting how galaxies evolve across cosmic time. These models follow the e…
