FLAMINGO: The thermal history of the Universe from tSZ effect cross-correlations and its dependencies on cosmology and baryon physics
Jaime Salcido, Tianyi Yang, Ian G. McCarthy +9
The cross-correlation between tracers of large-scale structure, such as galaxies or quasars, and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) signal yields a measure of the bias-weighted m…
The FLAMINGO simulations data release
John C. Helly, Robert J. McGibbon, Joop Schaye +15
We describe the public release of petabytes of data from the FLAMINGO cosmological simulations. The suite consists of hydrodynamical simulations that include radiative cooli…
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…
Time-dependent metal ionization and the persistence of collisionally excited emission lines in the diffuse ionized gas of star forming galaxies
Lewis McCallum, Kenneth Wood, Robert Benjamin +2
We extend our time-dependent hydrogen ionization simulations of diffuse ionized gas to include metals important for collisional cooling and diagnostic emission lines. The combinati…
The persistence of high altitude non-equilibrium diffuse ionized gas in simulations of star forming galaxies
Lewis McCallum, Kenneth Wood, Robert Benjamin +4
Widespread, high altitude, diffuse ionized gas with scale heights of around a kiloparsec is observed in the Milky Way and other star forming galaxies. Numerical radiation-magnetohy…
The FLAMINGO project: the coupling between baryonic feedback and cosmology in light of the tension
Willem Elbers, Carlos S. Frenk, Adrian Jenkins +12
Large-scale structure surveys have reported measurements of the density of matter, , and the amplitude of clustering, , that are in tension with the values infer…
The FLAMINGO project: Baryonic impact on weak gravitational lensing convergence peak counts
Jeger C. Broxterman, Matthieu Schaller, Joop Schaye +12
Weak gravitational lensing convergence peaks, the local maxima in weak lensing convergence maps, have been shown to contain valuable cosmological information complementary to commo…
The FLAMINGO Project: Galaxy clusters in comparison to X-ray observations
Joey Braspenning, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller +10
Galaxy clusters are important probes for both cosmology and galaxy formation physics. We test the cosmological, hydrodynamical FLAMINGO simulations by comparing to observations of…
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…
The FLAMINGO project: revisiting the tension and the role of baryonic physics
Ian G. McCarthy, Jaime Salcido, Joop Schaye +12
A number of recent studies have found evidence for a tension between observations of large-scale structure (LSS) and the predictions of the standard model of cosmology with the cos…
Non-linear CMB lensing with neutrinos and baryons: FLAMINGO simulations vs. fast approximations
Amol Upadhye, Juliana Kwan, Ian G. McCarthy +11
Weak lensing of the cosmic microwave background is rapidly emerging as a powerful probe of neutrinos, dark energy, and new physics. We present a fast computation of the non-linear…
FLAMINGO: Calibrating large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations with machine learning
Roi Kugel, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller +17
To fully take advantage of the data provided by large-scale structure surveys, we need to quantify the potential impact of baryonic effects, such as feedback from active galactic n…

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest ex…
SOFIA/HAWC+ observations of the Crab Nebula: dust properties from polarised emission
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Brandon S. Hensley +14
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are well-recognised dust producers, but their net dust production rate remains elusive due to uncertainties in grain properties that propagate into observ…
