We present a novel, fast and precise method for including the effect of light neutrinos in cosmological N-body simulations. The effect of the neutrino component is included by using the linear theory neutrino perturbations in the…
We present a new method for simulating cosmologies that contain massive particles with thermal free streaming motion, such as massive neutrinos or warm/hot dark matter. This method combines particle and fluid descriptions of the thermal…
N-body simulations are essential tools in physical cosmology to understand the large-scale structure (LSS) formation of the Universe. Large-scale simulations with high resolution are important for exploring the substructure of universe and…
Astrophysical techniques have pioneered the discovery of neutrino mass properties. Current cosmological observations give an upper bound on neutrino masses by attempting to disentangle the small neutrino contribution from the sum of all…
We quantify the information content of the non-linear matter power spectrum, the halo mass function, and the void size function, using the Quijote $N$-body simulations. We find that these three statistics exhibit very different degeneracies…
We use N-body simulations to find the effect of neutrino masses on halo properties, and investigate how the density profiles of both the neutrino and the dark matter components change as a function of the neutrino mass. We compare our…
Cosmology places the strongest current limits on the sum of neutrino masses. Future observations will further improve the sensitivity and this will require accurate cosmological simulations to quantify possible systematic uncertainties and…
We present the results of cosmological simulations of large-scale structure formation with massive neutrinos. The phase-space distribution of the cosmic relic neutrinos is followed, for the first time, by directly integrating the…
By using a suite of large box-size N-body simulations that incorporate massive neutrinos as an extra set of particles, we investigate the impact of neutrino masses on the spatial distribution of dark matter haloes and galaxies. We compute…
We demonstrate that the output of a cosmological N-body simulation can, to remarkable accuracy, be scaled to represent the growth of large-scale structure in a cosmology with parameters similar to but different from those originally…
Cosmic voids, the underdense regions in the universe, are particularly sensitive to diffuse density components such as cosmic neutrinos. This sensitivity is enhanced by the match between void sizes and the free-streaming scale of massive…
Cosmological $N$-body simulations are typically purely run with particles using Newtonian equations of motion. However, such simulations can be made fully consistent with general relativity using a well-defined prescription. Here, we extend…
Cosmological $N$-body simulations are the standard tool to study the emergence of the observed large-scale structure of the Universe. Such simulations usually solve for the gravitational dynamics of matter within the Newtonian…
We present the Aemulus $\nu$ simulations: a suite of 150 $(1.05 h^{-1}\rm Gpc)^3$ $N$-body simulations with a mass resolution of $3.51\times 10^{10} \frac{\Omega_{cb}}{0.3} ~ h^{-1} M_{\odot}$ in a $w\nu$CDM cosmological parameter space.…
Recent work has highlighted the potentially detectable gravitational-lensing effect of neutrino halos on cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) fluctuations with upcoming instruments like SO, CMB-S4, and CMB-HD. Accurate modeling of…
The cosmic neutrino background is an important component of the Universe that is difficult to include in cosmological simulations due to the extremely large velocity dispersion of neutrino particles. We develop a new approach to simulate…
We have performed detailed studies of non-linear structure formation in cosmological models with light neutrinos. For the first time the effect of neutrino thermal velocities has been included in a consistent way, and the effect on the…
Future large-scale structure surveys of the Universe will aim to constrain the cosmological model and the true nature of dark energy with unprecedented accuracy. In order for these surveys to achieve their designed goals, they will require…
Neutrino mass constraints are a primary focus of current and future large-scale structure (LSS) surveys. Non-linear LSS models rely heavily on cosmological simulations -- the impact of massive neutrinos should therefore be included in these…
We present an efficient and accurate method for simulating massive neutrinos in cosmological structure formation simulations, together with an easy to use public implementation. Our method builds on our earlier implementation of the linear…
