Agora Simulation

About the simulation

The Agora simulation consists of CMB/LSS maps and catalogs generated from the MDPL2 N-body simulation. The sky components include CMB lensing, tSZ, kSZ, CIB and also galaxy weak lensing. The lensing field are computed using multi-lens plane raytracing. Each of these maps are convolved with bandpasses of a specific experiment (SPT-SZ/SPT-3G/Planck/SCUBA-2). We also provide the lensed CMB secondary components where the defelection is computed from the integrated density field between the specific shell and the observer. Please see the main paper for more details.

The term "Agora" in Greek means "an open place of assembly". The intention of the simulation is that various communities (CMB/LSS/LIM/GW++) can come together and measure cross-correlations with other observables. If you implement a new observable, and would like to share the products, please let me know.

Note that the halo catalogs are stripped. If you want all the columns from Rockstar output, you would need to download the original halo catalog from here and then tesselate the box and rotate the shells.

We additionally provide some of the processed maps presented in the application section:
