I will describe the BACCO framework that aims at providing accurately theoretical models to interpret EUCLID data.
In this work, we introduce a calibration pipeline for SciPIC specifically designed to constraining HOD parameters for accurately describing the observed clustering at low redshift. The pipeline consists of a simplified SciPIC version that generates a galaxy mock catalogue by assigning central and satellite galaxies within dark-matter halos with their corresponding positions, luminosities and...
Next generation galaxy surveys will measure the properties of our Universe with unprecedented precision. Thus, model testing and validation with numerical simulations is crucial to obtain accurate and unbiased estimates of the cosmological parameters. These mocks must faithfully reproduce the measurable properties of the galaxy population that will be observed.
In this talk, I will present...
Cluster number counts at visible and IR wavelengths will be a key cosmological probe in the next decade thanks to the Euclid satellite mission. For this purpose, the performance of cluster detection algorithms, which at these wavelengths are sensitive to the spatial distributions of the cluster galaxy members and their luminosity functions, need to be accurately characterized. Using The Three...
