RayGalGroupSims Snapshot Data

The RayGalGroupSims suite consists of a set of N-body simulations of different cosmological models, which have been specifically designed to generate high resolution halo catalogs in redshift-space (light-cone) taking into account for all observable relativistic effects to first order in the weak field approximation.

We have also computed high precision field quantities (power spectra, density maps , etc.) and halo quantities (various properties and profiles for several definitions) in several snapshots at a given redshift (no relativistic effect). These snapshot data are provided below.

To date we have realized two runs for LCDM and WCDM scenarios with parameters set to the WMAP-7 best-fit cosmological model (and within the Planck 2σ level contours). The simulations cover a (2625 Mpc/h)3 volume with Np=40963 particles (the mass resolution is about 1.88·1010 Msun/h in LCDM and 2.01·1010 Msun/h in wCDM).

We provide here snapshot data (i.e. at a given time).

If you are interested in light-cone data you can go there.

Remark: a conservative choice is to drop the values between max(k) and max(k)/2 to make sure the power spectrum is not polluted by aliasing effects.

hfp (i.e. hfprop) files contain main halo quantities such as identity, position, velocity, mass. p (i.e. prop) files contain various properties and profiles. The format is HDF5 (self-documented, using pFoF). Halos were detected using FoF with a linking length b at redshift z.
