AbacusSummit Halo Light Cone Catalogs

Dataset Garrison, Lehman ; Hadzhiyska, Boryana ; Garrison, Lehman ; ...

This is a set of halo light cone catalogs from the AbacusSummit suite of cosmological N-body simulations (abacussummit.readthedocs.io/).Â They are a "value-added" data product provided by post-processing the simulation output. The main application of the halo light cone catalogs is the construction of realistic mock galaxy catalogues and weak lensing maps on the sky. The algorithm (described in Hadzhiyska et al. 2021) associates CompaSO halos from 29 redshift epochs spanning z = 0.1-2.5 with their particles at the time of light-cone crossing. It then records the halo and particle information into an easily accessible product, which can be read withmore »« less
AbacusSummit Cleaned Halo Catalogs

Dataset Garrison, Lehman ; Bose, Sownak ; Eisenstein, Daniel ; ...

This is a data release from the AbacusSummit suite of cosmological N-body simulations. It contains dark matter halo catalogs and particle samples from those halos. The halo catalogs have been augmented ("cleaned") using halo merger tree information. Descriptions of AbacusSummit, the cleaned halo catalogs, and instructions for manipulating these catalogs can be found at the following URL: abacussummit.readthedocs.io/ The halo catalog cleaning is structured as a set of auxiliary files that are ingested by the reader code at runtime. But this release contains both the original catalogs and the auxiliary files, thus forming a self-contained dataset. The files in thismore »« less
Constructing high-fidelity halo merger trees in abacussummit

Journal Article Bose, Sownak ; Eisenstein, Daniel J. ; Hadzhiyska, Boryana ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

ABSTRACT Tracking the formation and evolution of dark matter haloes is a critical aspect of any analysis of cosmological N-body simulations. In particular, the mass assembly of a halo and its progenitors, encapsulated in the form of its merger tree, serves as a fundamental input for constructing semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and, more generally, for building mock catalogues that emulate galaxy surveys. We present an algorithm for constructing halo merger trees from abacussummit, the largest suite of cosmological N-body simulations performed to date consisting of nearly 60 trillion particles, and which has been designed to meet the Cosmological Simulationmore »« less
Scale dependence of halo bispectrum from non-Gaussian initial conditions in cosmological N-body simulations

Journal Article Nishimichi, Takahiro ; Taruya, Atsushi ; Koyama, Kazuya ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the halo bispectrum from non-Gaussian initial conditions. Based on a set of large N-body simulations starting from initial density fields with local type non-Gaussianity, we find that the halo bispectrum exhibits a strong dependence on the shape and scale of Fourier space triangles near squeezed configurations at large scales. The amplitude of the halo bispectrum roughly scales as f{sub NL}{sup 2}. The resultant scaling on the triangular shape is consistent with that predicted by Jeong and Komatsu based on perturbation theory. We systematically investigate this dependence with varying redshifts and halo mass thresholds. It is shown that themore »« less
N-body simulations with generic non-Gaussian initial conditions I: power spectrum and halo mass function

Journal Article Wagner, Christian ; Verde, Licia ; Boubekeur, Lotfi - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We address the issue of setting up generic non-Gaussian initial conditions for N-body simulations. We consider inflationary-motivated primordial non-Gaussianity where the perturbations in the Bardeen potential are given by a dominant Gaussian part plus a non-Gaussian part specified by its bispectrum. The approach we explore here is suitable for any bispectrum, i.e. it does not have to be of the so-called separable or factorizable form. The procedure of generating a non-Gaussian field with a given bispectrum (and a given power spectrum for the Gaussian component) is not univocal, and care must be taken so that higher-order corrections do not leavemore »« less
