Scaling relations between black holes and their host galaxies: comparing theoretical and observational measurements, and the impact of selection effects
Colin DeGraf, Tiziana Di Matteo, Tommaso Treu +3
We use the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackII to examine scaling relations between black hole mass (MBH) and host galaxy properties (sigma, M*, and LV), finding good agreeme…
Mock Quasar-Lyman-α Forest Data-sets for the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
Julian E. Bautista, Stephen Bailey, Andreu Font-Ribera +15
We describe mock data-sets generated to simulate the high-redshift quasar sample in Data Release 11 (DR11) of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). The mock…
Intrinsic alignments of galaxies in the MassiveBlack-II simulation: analysis of two-point statistics
Ananth Tenneti, Sukhdeep Singh, Rachel Mandelbaum +3
The intrinsic alignment of galaxies with the large-scale density field is an important astrophysical contaminant in upcoming weak lensing surveys. We present detailed measurements…
Where do galaxies end? Comparing measurement techniques of hydrodynamic-simulation galaxies' integrated properties
Adam R. H. Stevens, Marie Martig, Darren J. Croton +1
Using the suite of high-resolution zoom re-simulations of individual haloes by Martig et al., and the large-scale simulation \emph{MassiveBlack-II}, we examine the differences in m…
Galaxy Shapes and Intrinsic Alignments in The MassiveBlack-II Simulation
Ananth Tenneti, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tiziana Di Matteo +2
The intrinsic alignment of galaxy shapes with the large-scale density field is a contaminant to weak lensing measurements, as well as being an interesting signature of galaxy forma…
The MassiveBlack-II Simulation: The Evolution of Halos and Galaxies to z~0
Nishikanta Khandai, Tiziana Di Matteo, Rupert Croft +5
(Abridged for arXiv)We investigate the properties of halos, galaxies and blackholes to z=0 in the high resolution hydrodynamical simulation MassiveBlack-II (MBII) which evolves a L…
