Generating mock galaxy catalogues for flux-limited samples like the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey
A. Smith, C. Grove, S. Cole +28
Accurate mock galaxy catalogues are crucial to validate analysis pipelines used to constrain dark energy models. We present a fast HOD-fitting method which we apply to the AbacusSu…
A lightcone catalogue from the Millennium-XXL simulation: improved spatial interpolation and colour distributions for the DESI BGS
Alex Smith, Shaun Cole, Cameron Grove +2
The use of realistic mock galaxy catalogues is essential in the preparation of large galaxy surveys, in order to test and validate theoretical models and to assess systematics. We…
Solving small-scale clustering problems in approximate lightcone mocks
Alex Smith, Shaun Cole, Cameron Grove +2
Realistic lightcone mocks are important in the clustering analyses of large galaxy surveys. For simulations where only the snapshots are available, it is common to create approxima…
The DESI -body Simulation Project I: Testing the Robustness of Simulations for the DESI Dark Time Survey
Cameron Grove, Chia-Hsun Chuang, Ningombam Chandrachani Devi +19
Analysis of large galaxy surveys requires confidence in the robustness of numerical simulation methods. The simulations are used to construct mock galaxy catalogs to validate data…
