The MillenniumTNG Project: The hydrodynamical full physics simulation and a first look at its galaxy clusters
read the original abstract
Cosmological simulations are an important theoretical pillar for understanding nonlinear structure formation in our Universe and for relating it to observations on large scales. In several papers, we introduce our MillenniumTNG (MTNG) project that provides a comprehensive set of high-resolution, large volume simulations of cosmic structure formation aiming to better understand physical processes on large scales and to help interpreting upcoming large-scale galaxy surveys. We here focus on the full physics box MTNG740 that computes a volume of $(740\,\mathrm{Mpc})^3$ with a baryonic mass resolution of $3.1\times~10^7\,\mathrm{M_\odot}$ using \textsc{arepo} with $80.6$~billion cells and the IllustrisTNG galaxy formation model. We verify that the galaxy properties produced by MTNG740 are consistent with the TNG simulations, including more recent observations. We focus on galaxy clusters and analyse cluster scaling relations and radial profiles. We show that both are broadly consistent with various observational constraints. We demonstrate that the SZ-signal on a deep lightcone is consistent with Planck limits. Finally, we compare MTNG740 clusters with galaxy clusters found in Planck and the SDSS-8 RedMaPPer richness catalogue in observational space, finding very good agreement as well. However, {\it simultaneously} matching cluster masses, richness, and Compton-$y$ requires us to assume that the SZ mass estimates for Planck clusters are underestimated by $0.2$~dex on average. Thanks to its unprecedented volume for a high-resolution hydrodynamical calculation, the MTNG740 simulation offers rich possibilities to study baryons in galaxies, galaxy clusters, and in large scale structure, and in particular their impact on upcoming large cosmological surveys.

Shear-kSZ: A New Estimator for the Matter-Electron Power Spectrum from kSZ Tomography and Weak Lensing
Shear–kSZ correlates kSZ, tomographic line-of-sight velocity, and lensing convergence to measure P_me(k) and thereby the baryonic matter-power suppression S(k) at high forecast significance.

Interpreting the stacked kinetic SZ effect I: velocity reconstruction and non-linear velocity effects
Non-linear velocity terms cancel in real-space linear reconstruction, but redshift-space distortions reintroduce a 10–20% small-scale suppression of the stacked kSZ signal.

Enabling Cosmic Web Analysis at Gigaparsec Scales: A Multi Block Approach for DisPerSE
A circumsphere-filtered, block-wise 'frozen-core' tiling lets DisPerSE map filaments at gigaparsec scales, yielding a 92-million-halo filament catalogue and a mass-connectivity power law A≈0.27-0.32.

A Novel Implementation of Self-Interacting Dark Matter in AREPO
A dedicated-tree Monte-Carlo SIDM module in AREPO-2 conserves energy/momentum under multiple scatters, supports velocity-dependent and inelastic models, and runs with only modest overhead versus CDM except in late cor...

Evaluating the flexibility of the MillenniumTNG galaxy formation model with multi-zoom re-simulations
A parameter combination of the MillenniumTNG galaxy-formation model is found that reproduces the observed galaxy stellar-mass function and the lower gas fractions measured in groups and clusters, showing the model is ...

Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 5. Cosmological Constraints with Simulation-Based Priors
Simulation-based priors applied to DESI DR1 full-shape data sharpen cosmological constraints (σ8 error halved) and yield Mν<0.090 eV in w0waCDM, but the results depend on HOD modeling assumptions.

Secondary Dependence of Baryonic Effects on the Density Profile of Dark Matter Halos
Baryonic effects on dark matter halo density profiles exhibit strong secondary dependence on concentration (up to 15% variations at small scales for lower-mass halos) and weaker dependence on large-scale environment (~2%).

Simulation budgeting for hybrid effective field theories
Forecasts that under 225 N-body simulations suffice for 1-2% accurate HEFT emulators over wide w0waCDM + m_nu parameter space, with as few as 80 for restricted volumes.
