Modeling the Connection Between Subhalos and Satellites in Milky Way-Like Systems

1 code implementation14 Sep 2018 Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao, Gregory M. Green, Risa H. Wechsler

We develop a comprehensive and flexible model for the connection between satellite galaxies and dark matter subhalos in dark matter-only zoom-in simulations of Milky Way (MW)-mass host halos.

The Aemulus Project I: Numerical Simulations for Precision Cosmology

no code implementations16 Apr 2018 Joseph DeRose, Risa H. Wechsler, Jeremy L. Tinker, Matthew R. Becker, Yao-Yuan Mao, Thomas McClintock, Sean McLaughlin, Eduardo Rozo, Zhongxu Zhai

We show that these statistics are converged to 1% (2%) for halos with more than 500 (200) particles respectively and scales of r>200 ~ h^-1 kpc in real space or k ~ 3 h Mpc^-1 in harmonic space for z\le 1.

Modeling the Impact of Baryons on Subhalo Populations with Machine Learning

1 code implementation12 Dec 2017 Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel

We identify subhalos in dark matter-only (DMO) zoom-in simulations that are likely to be disrupted due to baryonic effects by using a random forest classifier trained on two hydrodynamic simulations of Milky Way (MW)-mass host halos from the Latte suite of the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project.

Forward Modeling of Large-Scale Structure: An open-source approach with Halotools

2 code implementations13 Jun 2016 Andrew Hearin, Duncan Campbell, Erik Tollerud, Peter Behroozi, Benedikt Diemer, Nathan J. Goldbaum, Elise Jennings, Alexie Leauthaud, Yao-Yuan Mao, Surhud More, John Parejko, Manodeep Sinha, Brigitta Sipocz, Andrew Zentner

We present the first stable release of Halotools (v0. 2), a community-driven Python package designed to build and test models of the galaxy-halo connection.
