Field-level simulation-based inference with galaxy catalogs: the impact of systematic effects

no code implementations23 Oct 2023 Natalí S. M. de Santi, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, L. Raul Abramo, Helen Shao, Lucia A. Perez, Tiago Castro, Yueying Ni, Christopher C. Lovell, Elena Hernandez-Martinez, Federico Marinacci, David N. Spergel, Klaus Dolag, Lars Hernquist, Mark Vogelsberger

In particular, de Santi et al. (2023) developed models that could accurately infer the value of $\Omega_{\rm m}$ from catalogs that only contain the positions and radial velocities of galaxies that are robust to uncertainties in astrophysics and subgrid models.

The CAMELS project: Expanding the galaxy formation model space with new ASTRID and 28-parameter TNG and SIMBA suites

1 code implementation4 Apr 2023 Yueying Ni, Shy Genel, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Yongseok Jo, Simeon Bird, Tiziana Di Matteo, Rupert Croft, Nianyi Chen, Natalí S. M. de Santi, Matthew Gebhardt, Helen Shao, Shivam Pandey, Lars Hernquist, Romeel Dave

We present CAMELS-ASTRID, the third suite of hydrodynamical simulations in the Cosmology and Astrophysics with MachinE Learning (CAMELS) project, along with new simulation sets that extend the model parameter space based on the previous frameworks of CAMELS-TNG and CAMELS-SIMBA, to provide broader training sets and testing grounds for machine-learning algorithms designed for cosmological studies.

Augmenting astrophysical scaling relations with machine learning: application to reducing the Sunyaev-Zeldovich flux-mass scatter

1 code implementation4 Jan 2022 Digvijay Wadekar, Leander Thiele, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, J. Colin Hill, Miles Cranmer, David N. Spergel, Nicholas Battaglia, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Lars Hernquist, Shirley Ho

Using SR on the data from the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulation, we find a new proxy for cluster mass which combines $Y_\mathrm{SZ}$ and concentration of ionized gas ($c_\mathrm{gas}$): $M \propto Y_\mathrm{conc}^{3/5} \equiv Y_\mathrm{SZ}^{3/5} (1-A\, c_\mathrm{gas})$.

Furthermore, a GNN trained on a suite of simulations is able to preserve part of its accuracy when tested on simulations run with a different code that utilizes a distinct subgrid physics model, showing the robustness of our method.

Extensions to models of the galaxy-halo connection

no code implementations11 Aug 2020 Boryana Hadzhiyska, Sownak Bose, Daniel Eisenstein, Lars Hernquist

We explore two widely used empirical models for the galaxy-halo connection, subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) and the halo occupation distribution (HOD) and compare their predictions with the hydrodynamical simulation IllustrisTNG (TNG) for a range of statistics that quantify the galaxy distribution at $n_{\rm gal}\approx1. 3\times10^{-3}\,[{\rm Mpc}/h]^{-3}$.

no code implementations3 Jul 2020 Christopher C. Hayward, Martin Sparre, Scott C. Chapman, Lars Hernquist, Dylan Nelson, Rüdiger Pakmor, Annalisa Pillepich, Volker Springel, Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Rainer Weinberger

The simulation from the original Illustris project yields more SMGs than IllustrisTNG: the predicted counts are consistent with those observed at both $S_{850} \lesssim 5$ mJy and $S_{850} \gtrsim 9$ mJy and only a factor of $\sim 2$ lower than observed at intermediate flux densities.

Joint galaxy-galaxy lensing and clustering constraints on galaxy formation

no code implementations3 Jul 2020 Malin Renneby, Bruno M. B. Henriques, Stefan Hilbert, Dylan Nelson, Mark Vogelsberger, Raúl E. Angulo, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist

We compare predictions for galaxy-galaxy lensing profiles and clustering from the Henriques et al. (2015) public version of the Munich semi-analytical model of galaxy formation (SAM) and the IllustrisTNG suite, primarily TNG300, with observations from KiDS+GAMA and SDSS-DR7 using four different selection functions for the lenses (stellar mass, stellar mass and group membership, stellar mass and isolation criteria, stellar mass and colour).

1 code implementation29 Jun 2020 Chang-Goo Kim, Eve C. Ostriker, Rachel S. Somerville, Greg L. Bryan, Drummond B. Fielding, John C. Forbes, Christopher C. Hayward, Lars Hernquist, Viraj Pandya

We investigate the scaling of outflow mass, momentum, energy, and metal loading factors with galactic disk properties, including star formation rate (SFR) surface density (\Sigma_SFR~10^{-4}-1 M_sun/kpc^2/yr), gas surface density (~1-100 M_sun/pc^2), and total midplane pressure (or weight) (~10^3-10^6 k_B cm^{-3} K).

Supermassive black holes and their feedback effects in the IllustrisTNG simulation

no code implementations12 Oct 2017 Rainer Weinberger, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor, Dylan Nelson, Shy Genel, Annalisa Pillepich, Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci, Jill Naiman, Paul Torrey, Lars Hernquist

We show that the quenching of massive central galaxies happens coincidently with kinetic-mode feedback, consistent with the notion that active supermassive black cause the low specific star formation rates observed in massive galaxies.

no code implementations11 Jul 2017 Federico Marinacci, Mark Vogelsberger, Rüdiger Pakmor, Paul Torrey, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist, Dylan Nelson, Rainer Weinberger, Annalisa Pillepich, Jill Naiman, Shy Genel

Using two simple models for the energy distribution of relativistic electrons we predict the diffuse radio emission of $280$ clusters with a baryonic mass resolution of $1. 1\times 10^{7}\,{\rm M_{\odot}}$, and generate mock observations for VLA, LOFAR, ASKAP and SKA.

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: the stellar mass content of groups and clusters of galaxies

no code implementations11 Jul 2017 Annalisa Pillepich, Dylan Nelson, Lars Hernquist, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor, Paul Torrey, Rainer Weinberger, Shy Genel, Jill Naiman, Federico Marinacci, Mark Vogelsberger

Total halo mass is a very good predictor of stellar mass, and vice versa: at $z=0$, the 3D stellar mass measured within 30 kpc scales as $\propto (M_{\rm 500c})^{0. 49}$ with a $\sim 0. 12$ dex scatter.

To this end we use the magnesium to iron ratio as a proxy for the effects of our SNII and SNIa metal return prescription, and a means to compare our simulated abundances to a wide variety of galactic observations.

We find a striking improvement with respect to the original Illustris simulation, as well as excellent quantitative agreement in comparison to the observations, with a sharp transition in median color from blue to red at a characteristic M* ~ 10^10. 5 Msun.

no code implementations11 Jul 2017 Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor, Annalisa Pillepich, Rainer Weinberger, Dylan Nelson, Lars Hernquist, Mark Vogelsberger, Shy Genel, Paul Torrey, Federico Marinacci, Jill Naiman

The two-point correlation function of the simulated galaxies agrees well with SDSS at its mean redshift z ~ 0. 1, both as a function of stellar mass and when split according to galaxy colour, apart from a mild excess in the clustering of red galaxies in the stellar mass range 10^9-10^10 Msun/h^2.

The overall framework builds upon the successes of the Illustris galaxy formation model, and includes prescriptions for star formation, stellar evolution, chemical enrichment, primordial and metal-line cooling of the gas, stellar feedback with galactic outflows, and black hole formation, growth and multi-mode feedback.

We use particle data from the Illustris simulation, combined with individual kinematic constraints on the mass of the Milky Way (MW) at specific distances from the Galactic center, to infer the radial distribution of the MW's dark matter halo mass.

We find that the black hole mass density for redshifts z = 0 - 5 and the black hole mass function at z = 0 predicted by Illustris are in very good agreement with the most recent observational constraints.

Introducing the Illustris Project: the evolution of galaxy populations across cosmic time

In particular, we discuss (a) the buildup of galactic mass, showing stellar mass functions and the relations between stellar mass and halo mass from z=7 to z=0, (b) galaxy number density profiles around massive central galaxies out to z=4, (c) the gas and total baryon content of both galaxies and their halos for different redshifts, and as a function of mass and radius, and (d) the evolution of galaxy specific star-formation rates up to z=8.

Previous simulations of the growth of cosmic structures have broadly reproduced the 'cosmic web' of galaxies that we see in the Universe, but failed to create a mixed population of elliptical and spiral galaxies due to numerical inaccuracies and incomplete physical models.
