Introduction

The Eos Dataset is a suite of N-body simulations of the universe at large scales. It follows the dynamics of more than $300$ billion particles over a total volume of about $700$ $($ Gpc $/ h)^{3}$ .

The goal of the dataset is to investigate the imprint of primordial non-Gaussianity in the evolution of large-scale structures at low redshift. Primordial non-Gaussianity is the observational signature of primordial interactions taking place during inflation, and therefore an essential observational window into the particle content and micro-physics of inflation.

The current version of the dataset features simulations with quadratic local- and equilateral-type primordial non-Gaussianity initial conditions, as well as several more with Gaussian initial conditions and varying cosmology. The simulations have been used in a number of papers, primarily involving the study of the power spectrum and bispectrum of matter and halos. A complete bibliography of papers using the dataset is provided at the end of this page.

Description of the Dataset

The simulations were run at the Baobab Cluster at University of Geneva and at the Cartesius and Snellius super computers, which are part of the Dutch national computing facilities. The nonlinear motion of particles through time was calculated using with the publicly available Gadget2 code. The initial conditions were generated the code 2LPTic for Gaussian initial conditions and its counterpart 2LPTicNG for local non-Gaussian initial conditions. For equilateral-type non-Gaussianities, we used l-picola. All initial conditions start at $z_{i} = 99$ . Snapshots are saved at redshifts $z = 0, 1, 2$ except for the high resolution runs G85HR and NG500HR for which only high redshifts are saved $z = 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11$ .

Analysis and Postprocessing

The Eos datasets includes halo catalogues, measurements of matter, halo and cross power spectra and bispectra, and topological data analysis using persistent homology. Here we provide further details on these measurements.

Halo catalogs

The halo catalogs are produced using Rockstar, for which we use a linking length of $λ = 0.28$ . For the set of large box runs (L), we look at halos with a minimum of 50 particles in it, which corresponds to a minimum mass of $M_{m i n} = 9.2 \times 10^{12} M_{⊙}$ .

Power Spectra

The power spectrum of matter and halos is measured by interpolating particles (halos) on a discrete grid using fourth-order interpolation with interlacing as described in Sefusatti et al. (2016) to get a density field and compute correlations of binned Fourier modes. Density files are also saved for grids of size $768^{3}$ . The code used to perform the measurements is a python-Fortran hybrid based on PowerI4.

Bispectrum

The bispectrum of matter and halos is measured by computing correlations of binned Fourier modes using density files as described in the previous section. Binning of Fourier modes and measured triangles is defined as in Oddo et al. (2019). The code used to perform the measurements is a python-Fortran hybrid based on the same techniques defined in the Power Spectrum.

Persistent Homology

This section will be available soon. For info refer to these publications: 2009.04819 and 2203.08262.

Access to Data

Data from the Eos Dataset is accessible at all levels (particle snapshots, halo catalogs, power spectra and bispectra) by contacting me and providing a short description of the project. In the near future, part of the data will be made openly accessible.
