DESI mock challenge Halo and galaxy catalogues with the bias assignment method

Context. We present a novel approach to the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for large-scale structure analysis based on the distribution of dark matter halos obtained with effective bias models at the field level. Aims. We aim to produce mock galaxy ...

Subhalo abundance matching through the lens of a hydrodynamical simulation

Ginevra Favole

We use the IllustrisTNG100 hydrodynamical simulation to study the dependence of the galaxy two-point correlation function on a broad range of secondary subhalo and galactic properties. We construct galaxy mock catalogues adopting a standard subhalo abundan ...

Model BOSS and eBOSS luminous red galaxies at 0.2 < z < 1.0 using SubHalo Abundance Matching with three parameters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Jiaxi Yu, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Ginevra Favole

SubHalo Abundance Matching (SHAM) is an empirical method for constructing galaxy catalogues based on high-resolution N-body simulations. We apply SHAM on the UNIT simulation to simulate SDSS BOSS/eBOSS luminous red galaxies (LRGs) within a wide redshift ra ...

UNITSIM-Galaxies: data release and clustering of emission-line galaxies

Ginevra Favole

New surveys such as European Space Agencys (ESA's) Euclid mission are planned to map with unprecedented precision the large-scale structure of the Universe by measuring the 3D positions of tens of millions of galaxies. It is necessary to develop theoretica ...

Halo Mass-concentration Relation at the High-mass End

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Ginevra Favole

The concentration-mass (c-M) relation encodes key information about the assembly history of dark matter halos. However, its behavior at the high mass end has not been measured precisely in observations yet. In this paper, we report the measurement of the h ...

On the influence of halo mass accretion history on galaxy properties and assembly bias

Ginevra Favole

Halo assembly bias is the secondary dependence of the clustering of dark matter haloes on their assembly histories at fixed halo mass. This established dependence is expected to manifest itself on galaxy clustering, a potential effect commonly known as gal ...

Does jackknife scale really matter for accurate large-scale structure covariances?

Ginevra Favole

The jackknife method gives an internal covariance estimate for large-scale structure surveys and allows model-independent errors on cosmological parameters. Using the SDSS-III BOSS CMASS sample, we study how the jackknife size and number of resamplings imp ...

The 13th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-IV Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Zheng Zheng, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Michael James Henry Smith, Yang Gao, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, David Schlegel, John Wilson

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and the Extend ...

Clustering properties of g-selected galaxies at z similar to 0.8

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, David Schlegel, Ginevra Favole

Current and future large redshift surveys, as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-IV/eBOSS) or the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), will use emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to probe cosmological ...

The Tenth Data Release Of The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data From The Sdss-Iii Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Zheng Zheng, Johan Comparat, David Schlegel, Ginevra Favole, Yue Shen, Arnaud Borde, Bo Ma

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the Tenth Public Data Release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This data release includes the first spectroscopic data from the Apache Point Obser ...
