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.

Inferring halo masses with Graph Neural Networks

1 code implementation16 Nov 2021 Pablo Villanueva-Domingo, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Shy Genel, Federico Marinacci, David N. Spergel, Lars Hernquist, Mark Vogelsberger, Romeel Dave, Desika Narayanan

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.

no code implementations21 Sep 2021 Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel, Daniel Angles-Alcazar, David N. Spergel, Yin Li, Benjamin Wandelt, Leander Thiele, Andrina Nicola, Jose Manuel Zorrilla Matilla, Helen Shao, Sultan Hassan, Desika Narayanan, Romeel Dave, Mark Vogelsberger

We train neural networks to perform likelihood-free inference from $(25\, h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^2$ 2D maps containing the total mass surface density from thousands of hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project.

Multifield Cosmology with Artificial Intelligence

no code implementations20 Sep 2021 Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Shy Genel, David N. Spergel, Yin Li, Benjamin Wandelt, Andrina Nicola, Leander Thiele, Sultan Hassan, Jose Manuel Zorrilla Matilla, Desika Narayanan, Romeel Dave, Mark Vogelsberger

Although our maps only cover a small area of $(25~h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^2$, and the different fields are contaminated by astrophysical effects in very different ways, our networks can infer the values of $\Omega_{\rm m}$ and $\sigma_8$ with a few percent level precision for most of the fields.

Is there enough star formation in simulated protoclusters?

no code implementations5 Oct 2020 SeungHwan Lim, Ryley Hill, Douglas Scott, Arif Babul, David Barnes, Scott Chapman, Christopher Hayward, Scott Kay, Ian McCarthy, Douglas Rennehan, Mark Vogelsberger

Using a combination of state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations and empirical models, we show that current galaxy-formation models do not produce enough star formation in protoclusters to match observations.

Submillimetre galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations -- an opportunity for constraining feedback models

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).

Gravitational Lensing and the Power Spectrum of Dark Matter Substructure: Insights from the ETHOS N-body Simulations

1 code implementation31 Aug 2018 Ana Díaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Jesús Zavala, Mark Vogelsberger

Comparing the amplitude and slope of the power spectrum on scales $0. 1 \lesssim k/$kpc$^{-1} \lesssim 10$ from lenses at different redshifts can help us distinguish between cold dark matter and other exotic dark matter scenarios that alter the abundance and central densities of subhalos.

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 Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich, Volker Springel, Rainer Weinberger, Lars Hernquist, Ruediger Pakmor, Shy Genel, Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Guinevere Kauffmann, Federico Marinacci, Jill Naiman

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.

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.

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: matter and galaxy clustering

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.

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.

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.

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.
