CosmoDC2: Mock galaxy catalog from Rubin sky simulations

CosmoDC2 is a large, mock galaxy catalog originally designed to support precision dark energy surveys with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The catalog is based on a trillion-particle, (4.225 Gpc)^3 box cosmological N-body simulation, the Outer Rim run. For the mock catalog generation, a new hybrid technique is used that combines data-driven empirical approaches with semi-analytical galaxy modeling. The unabridged version of the catalog (with table name cosmodc2mockv1_new) has been optimized to make searches with constraints on stellar mass and redshift fast.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
