Abstract:

We present a public data release of halo catalogs from a suite of 125cosmological N-body simulations from the ABACUS project. The simulationsspan 40 wCDM cosmologies centered on the Planck 2015 cosmology at twomass resolutions, 4 × 1010 h -1 M and 1 × 1010 h -1 M, in 1.1 h -1 Gpc and 720 h-1 Mpc boxes, respectively. The boxes are phase-matchedto suppress sample variance and isolate cosmology dependence. Additionalvolume is available via 16 boxes of fixed cosmology and varied phase; afew boxes of single-parameter excursions from Planck 2015 are alsoprovided. Catalogs spanning z = 1.5 to 0.1 are available forfriends-of-friends and ROCKSTAR halo finders and include particlesubsamples. All data products are available at https://lgarrison.github.io/AbacusCosmos.
