3.3.13.1  :  Galaxies

This table contains the HOD galaxy lightcone catalogue from Smith et al (2017). This catalogue covers the full sky and extends to z=0.8, with r-band apparent magnitude limit r<20.

columntypeUCDunitdescription
mxxl_id long Halo ID from the MXXL simulation
snap integer Snapshot number from the MXXL simulation
galaxy_type integer A central galaxy in a resolved halo. 1 = A satellite galaxy in a resolved halo.
2 = A central galaxy in an unresolved halo. 3 = A satellite galaxy in an unresolved halo
halo_mass float 1e10Msun/h Mass of host halo, defined as the mass enclosed by a sphere in which the average density is 200 times the mean density of the Universe
ra float degrees Right ascension
dec float degrees Declination
abs_mag float Rest frame SDSS r-band absolute magnitude, k-corrected to z = 0.1 with no evolutionary correction, and assumes h = 1
app_mag float SDSS r-band apparent magnitude
g_r float Rest frame SDSS g-r colour, k-corrected to z = 0.1
z_cos float Cosmological redshift, without peculiar velocity
z_obs float Observed redshift, with peculiar velocity
