abstract

We study the relations among the parameters of the hybrid Lagrangian bias expansion model, fitting biased auto and cross power spectra up to $k_{\rm max} = 0.7 \, h \, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. We consider $\sim 8000$ halo and galaxy samples, with different halo masses, redshifts, galaxy number densities, and varying the parameters of the galaxy formation model. Galaxy samples are obtained through state-of-the-art extended subhalo abundance matching techniques and include both stellar-mass and star-formation-rate selected galaxies. All of these synthetic galaxies samples are publicly available at https://bacco.dipc.org/galpk.html. We find that the hybrid Lagrangian bias model provides accurate fits to all of our halo and galaxy samples. The coevolution relations between galaxy bias parameters, although roughly compatible with those obtained for haloes, show systematic shifts and larger scatter. We explore possible sources of this difference in terms of dependence on halo occupation and assembly bias of each sample. The bias parameter relations displayed in this work can be used as a prior for future Bayesian analyses employing the hybrid Lagrangian bias expansion model.

  1. The One-Loop Power Spectrum of Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measures

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A one-loop EFT power spectrum model for FRB free-electron clustering matches FLAMINGO simulations to k ~ 0.2 h/Mpc, with electron bias b_e ~ 0.92 and near-perfect electron-matter correlation.

  2. Web-Halo Model Peak-Background Split (WHM-PBS): halo bias as a distribution, not a number

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Halo bias is derived as an environment-inherited probability distribution whose spread simultaneously produces halo stochasticity, EFT prior bands, and the measured bias–concentration inversion at M ≈ 1.7×10¹³ h⁻¹M☉.

  3. Simulation-Based Priors for HI Bias from Halo Occupation Physics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A conditional normalizing flow learned from two simulation suites maps HI halo-occupation parameters to EFT bias parameters, producing correlated non-Gaussian priors that are much tighter than flat priors for 21 cm analyses.

  4. Perturbative Likelihoods for Large-Scale Structure of the Universe

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A perturbative derivation shows that the large-scale structure likelihood is automatically expressed in terms of the tree-level power spectrum, tree-level bispectrum, and the (2,2) one-loop power spectrum correction.

  5. Low-redshift constraints on structure growth from CMB lensing tomography

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Low-redshift galaxy clustering and CMB lensing tomography with hybrid effective field theory gives S8=0.79±0.06, consistent with Planck, while data alone prefer Ωm=0.245±0.024.
