“ The onion universe: all sky light-cone simulations in spherical shells ” Fosalba et al, MNRAS, 391, 435 (2008)

  • Split the data into thin shells.
  • Interpolate into (Healpix) pixels
  • Combine to produce convergence maps
  • From this, it is possible to obtain other lensing observables, e.g. shear,

magnification, flexion, etc in the Born approximation

  • Large N-body MICE simulation provides haloes
  • Each halo contains one central galaxy and maybe

some satellite galaxies

  • Compute how many satellite galaxies populate each

halo (HOD) <Nsat> = (M/M1)α

  • Assign luminosities to central and satellite galaxies

conserving the luminosity function

  • Incomplete at low luminosity at low redshift (z<0.8)

because of the mass resolution Mhalo > 2.9×1011 M

  • Local luminosity & colour recipes + lightcone yields

wrong magnitudes at high redshift

  • Triaxial NFW (clusters?)
  • No shear errors
