Precision Determination of the Mass Function of Dark Matter Halos
Open accessAbstract
The predicted mass function of dark matter halos is essential in connecting observed galaxy-cluster counts and models of galaxy clustering to the properties of the primordial density field. We determine the mass function in the concordance ΛCDM cosmology, as well as its uncertainty, using sixteen 1024 3 particle nested-volume dark matter simulations spanning a mass range of over 5 orders of magnitude. Using the nested volumes and single-halo tests, we find and correct for a systematic error in the friends-of-friends halo-finding algorithm. We find a fitting form and full error covariance for the mass function that successfully describes the simulations' mass function and is well behaved outside the simulations' resolutions. Estimated forecasts of uncertainty in cosmological parameters from future cluster-count surveys receive a negligible contribution from remaining statistical uncertainties in the central cosmology multiplicity function. There exists a potentially nonnegligible cosmological dependence (nonuniversality) of the halo multiplicity function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
