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.

Updates

(05/11/24) Added unlensed density field.
(04/01/24) Fixed bug in 220 GHz radio maps where U was the same as Q (thanks to C. Hill for pointing this out)
(01/22/24) Added tau maps based on the similar approach as tSZ maps.

Simulation products

Unfortunately I will no longer provide the simulations publicly. Updated simuations will be only provided to collaborators.
