Cosmic CARNage I: on the calibration of galaxy formation models
Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez +31
We present a comparison of nine galaxy formation models, eight semi-analytical and one halo occupation distribution model, run on the same underlying cold dark matter simulation (c…
MultiDark-Galaxies: data release and first results
Alexander Knebe, Doris Stoppacher, Francisco Prada +18
We present the public release of the MultiDark-Galaxies: three distinct galaxy catalogues derived from one of the Planck cosmology MultiDark simulations (i.e. MDPL2, with a volume…
Stellar Populations in a semi-analytic model I: bulges of Milky Way-like galaxies
I. D. Gargiulo, S. A. Cora, C. A. Vega-Martínez +5
We study the stellar populations of bulges of Milky Way-like (MW-like) galaxies with the aim of identifying the physical processes involved in the formation of the bulge of our Gal…
DESCQA: An Automated Validation Framework for Synthetic Sky Catalogs
Yao-Yuan Mao, Eve Kovacs, Katrin Heitmann +24
The use of high-quality simulated sky catalogs is essential for the success of cosmological surveys. The catalogs have diverse applications, such as investigating signatures of fun…
nIFTy Cosmology: the clustering consistency of galaxy formation models
Arnau Pujol, Ramin A. Skibba, Enrique Gaztañaga +35
We present a clustering comparison of 12 galaxy formation models (including Semi-Analytic Models (SAMs) and Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) models) all run on halo catalogues an…
