title = "The Abacus Cosmos: A Suite of Cosmological N-body Simulations",
abstract = "We present a public data release of halo catalogs from a suite of 125 cosmological N-body simulations from the Abacus project. The simulations span 40 wCDM cosmologies centered on the Planck 2015 cosmology at two mass resolutions, 4 × 1010 h -1 M o and 1 × 1010 h -1 M o, in 1.1 h -1 Gpc and 720 h -1 Mpc boxes, respectively. The boxes are phase-matched to suppress sample variance and isolate cosmology dependence. Additional volume is available via 16 boxes of fixed cosmology and varied phase; a few boxes of single-parameter excursions from Planck 2015 are also provided. Catalogs spanning z = 1.5 to 0.1 are available for friends-of-friends and Rockstar halo finders and include particle subsamples. All data products are available at https://lgarrison.github.io/AbacusCosmos.",

note = "Funding Information: in hosting the catalogs. L.H.G. thanks Ben Wibking, Andres Salcedo, and Sihan Yuan for their feedback as “alpha” testers of these catalogs, Nina Maksimova for helpful discussions on the Abacus algorithm, and the referee for comments that helped improve the quality of the work. Our FoF implementation is based on the University of Washington N-body Shop friends-of friends code.
