Gravitational lensing is the deflection of light rays due to the gravity of intervening masses. This phenomenon is observed in a variety of scales and configurations, involving any non-uniform mass such as planets, stars, galaxies, clusters…

Modern redshift surveys are tasked with mapping out the galaxy distribution over enormous distance scales. Existing hydrodynamical simulations, however, do not reach the volumes needed to match upcoming surveys. We present results for the…

We present GLASS, the Generator for Large Scale Structure, a new code for the simulation of galaxy surveys for cosmology, which iteratively builds a light cone with matter, galaxies, and weak gravitational lensing signals as a sequence of…
