Estimating the triaxiality of massive clusters from 2D observables in MillenniumTNG with machine learning

Ana Maria Delgado, Michelle Ntampaka, Sownak Bose +7

Properties of massive galaxy clusters, such as mass abundance and concentration, are sensitive to cosmology, making cluster statistics a powerful tool for cosmological studies. How…

Fully non-linear simulations of galaxy intrinsic alignments for weak lensing with the MillenniumTNG lightcone

Fulvio Ferlito, Volker Springel, Christopher T. Davies +4

We present a complete forward model of a realistic weak lensing galaxy catalogue based on the 740 Mpc hydrodynamical MillenniumTNG (MTNG) simulation. Starting with a complete parti…

The MillenniumTNG Project: Impact of massive neutrinos on the cosmic large-scale structure and the distribution of galaxies

César Hernández-Aguayo, Volker Springel, Sownak Bose +10

We discuss the cold dark matter plus massive neutrinos simulations of the MillenniumTNG (MTNG) project, which aim to improve understanding of how well ongoing and future large-scal…

Ray-tracing vs. Born approximation in full-sky weak lensing simulations of the MillenniumTNG project

Fulvio Ferlito, Christopher T. Davies, Volker Springel +7

Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for precision tests of cosmology. As the expected deflection angles are small, predictions based on non-linear N-body simulations are…

Evolution of cosmic filaments in the MTNG simulation

Daniela Galárraga-Espinosa, Corentin Cadiou, Céline Gouin +11

We present a study of the evolution of cosmic filaments across redshift with an emphasis on some important properties: filament lengths, growth rates, and radial profiles of galaxy…

The MillenniumTNG Project: Intrinsic alignments of galaxies and halos

Ana Maria Delgado, Boryana Hadzhiyska, Sownak Bose +9

The intrinsic alignment (IA) of observed galaxy shapes with the underlying cosmic web is a source of contamination in weak lensing surveys. Sensitive methods to identify the IA sig…

The MillenniumTNG Project: An improved two-halo model for the galaxy-halo connection of red and blue galaxies

Boryana Hadzhiyska, Daniel Eisenstein, Lars Hernquist +11

Approximate methods to populate dark matter halos with galaxies are of great utility to large galaxy surveys. However, the limitations of simple halo occupation models (HODs) precl…

The MillenniumTNG Project: Refining the one-halo model of red and blue galaxies at different redshifts

Boryana Hadzhiyska, Lars Hernquist, Daniel Eisenstein +11

Luminous red galaxies (LRGs) and blue star-forming emission-line galaxies (ELGs) are key tracers of large-scale structure used by cosmological surveys. Theoretical predictions for…

The MillenniumTNG Project: Semi-analytic galaxy formation models on the past lightcone

Monica Barrera, Volker Springel, Simon White +9

Upcoming large galaxy surveys will subject the standard cosmological model, CDM, to new precision tests. These can be tightened considerably if theoretical models of galaxy form…

The MillenniumTNG Project: Inferring cosmology from galaxy clustering with accelerated N-body scaling and subhalo abundance matching

Sergio Contreras, Raul E. Angulo, Volker Springel +11

We introduce a novel technique for constraining cosmological parameters and galaxy assembly bias using non-linear redshift-space clustering of galaxies. We scale cosmological N-bod…

The MillenniumTNG Project: The large-scale clustering of galaxies

Sownak Bose, Boryana Hadzhiyska, Monica Barrera +9

Modern redshift surveys are tasked with mapping out the galaxy distribution over enormous distance scales. Existing hydrodynamical simulations, however, do not reach the volumes ne…

The MillenniumTNG Project: The hydrodynamical full physics simulation and a first look at its galaxy clusters

Ruediger Pakmor, Volker Springel, Jonathan P. Coles +12

Cosmological simulations are an important theoretical pillar for understanding nonlinear structure formation in our Universe and for relating it to observations on large scales. In…

Cosmological direct detection of dark energy: non-linear structure formation signatures of dark energy scattering with visible matter

Fulvio Ferlito, Sunny Vagnozzi, David F. Mota +1

We consider the recently proposed possibility that dark energy (DE) and baryons may scatter through a pure momentum exchange process, leaving the background evolution unaffected. E…
