SLIDE 2 Role of hydro simulations
- Allows one to make self-consistent predictions for galaxies,
gas, total matter.
- Can make synthetic observations useful for testing
- bservational methods and simple models.
BUT!:
Our trust of sims linked to their realism. Finite resolution limits us to simplified treatments of important processes that occur on small scales. Simulations cannot robustly predict stellar or gas content of dark matter haloes CALIBRATION IGM+2011
SLIDE 3 BAHAMAS: BAryons and HAloes of MAssive Systems
First hydro simulations to reproduce the observed baryon content of collapsed
- structures. Realistically captures suppression of matter power spectrum.

SLIDE 6 X-ray scaling relations
Simulations processed through synthetic X-ray pipeline. Comparison to local X-ray-selected
- systems. Simulations reproduce Lx-M500 and Yx-M500 relations automatically.

SZ scaling relations
Compute SZ fluxes in an observational manner (within correct aperture; stacking in bins of stellar mass in right panel). Simulations reproduce well.

Spatial distribution of hot gas in clusters
Also reproduce the detailed thermodynamic profiles over a wide range of radii and halo masses.

SLIDE 11 Evolution of galaxy stellar mass function
IGM+2016, MNRAS Qualitatively agrees with observed evolution (Muzzin+2013). Low-mass galaxies are
- verabundant (stellar masses too high), due to resolution. Slight underestimate of masses of
most-massive galaxies at z > 2.
SLIDE 12 Evolution of cosmic SFR density
IGM+2016, MNRAS
- Qualitatively sensible, but
- verpredicts late-time SFRd
and slightly underpredicts peak.
- Similar level of agreement
as EAGLE.

- Satellites evolve self-similarly.
- But have negative velocity bias with respect
to DM.

SLIDE 22 Summary
- BAHAMAS is a first attempt to bring the calibration philosophy to larger systems, with
particular emphasis on large-scale structure cosmology applications.
- Calibration is done at z=0 on the GSMF and the gas fractions of groups and clusters. A
very simple physical model. No examination of evolution during calibration.
- We have 12 different 400 h-1 Mpc boxes with different cosmologies. Light cones with
synthetic X-ray, SZ, cosmic shear, CMB lensing maps and corresponding galaxy and cluster catalogs are already complete. Cross-correlations with galaxies?
- BAHAMAS qualitatively recovers observed evolution of massive galaxies and groups and
clusters, even though its aim was mainly focused on LSS applications. There are differences in detail (especially SFR evolution), which an be used to be further constrain feedback model (and/or higher resolution required).
- Hot gas properties of clusters, and especially groups, do not scale self-similarly in general
(see Amandine’s talk next). But the dynamics of satellite population do.
