The Uchuu-universe machine data set: galaxies in and around clusters

Abstract

We present the public data release of the Uchuu-UM galaxy catalogues by applying the UNIVERSEMACHINE algorithm to assign galaxies to the dark matter haloes in the Uchuu N-body cosmological simulation. It includes a variety of baryonic properties for all galaxies down to ∼5 × 108 M☉ with haloes in a mass range of 1010 < Mhalo/M☉ < 5 × 1015 up to redshift z = 10. Uchuu-UM includes more than 104 cluster-size haloes in a volume of 8(h−1Gpc)3, reproducing observed stellar mass functions across the redshift range of z = 0−7, galaxy quenched fractions, and clustering statistics at low redshifts. Compared to the previous largest UM catalogue, the Uchuu-UM catalogue includes significantly more massive galaxies hosted by large-mass dark matter haloes. Overall, the number density profile of galaxies in dark matter haloes follows the dark matter profile, with the profile becoming steeper around the splashback radius and flattening at larger radii. The number density profile of galaxies tends to be steeper for larger stellar masses and depends on the colour of galaxies, with red galaxies having steeper slopes at all radii than blue galaxies. The quenched fraction exhibits a strong dependence on the stellar mass and increases towards the inner regions of clusters. The publicly available Uchuu-UM galaxy catalogue presented here can serve to model ongoing and upcoming large galaxy surveys. © 2022 The Author(s)
