Galaxies can be characterized by many internal properties such as stellar mass, gas metallicity, and star-formation rate. We quantify the amount of cosmological and astrophysical information that the internal properties of individual…

Recent works have discovered a relatively tight correlation between $\Omega_{\rm m}$ and properties of individual simulated galaxies. Because of this, it has been shown that constraints on $\Omega_{\rm m}$ can be placed using the properties…
