Abstract

We employ a set of Magneticum cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that span over 1515 different cosmologies, and extract masses and concentrations of all well-resolved haloes between z=01z=0-1 for critical over-densities Δvir,Δ200c,Δ500c,Δ2500c\Delta_\texttt{vir}, \Delta_{200c}, \Delta_{500c}, \Delta_{2500c} and mean overdensity Δ200m.\Delta_{200m}. We provide the first mass-concentration (Mc) relation and sparsity relation (i.e. MΔ1MΔ2M_{\Delta1} - M_{\Delta2} mass conversion) of hydrodynamic simulations that is modelled by mass, redshift and cosmological parameters Ωm,Ωb,σ8,h0\Omega_m, \Omega_b, \sigma_8, h_0 as a tool for observational studies. We also quantify the impact that the Mc relation scatter and the assumption of NFW density profiles have on the uncertainty of the sparsity relation. We find that converting masses with the aid of a Mc relation carries an additional fractional scatter (4%\approx 4\%) originated from deviations from the assumed NFW density profile. For this reason we provide a direct mass-mass conversion relation fit that depends on redshift and cosmological parameters. We release the package hydro\_mc, a python tool that perform all kind of conversions presented in this paper.
