Note: documentation of the TNG-Cluster simulation.

The TNG-Cluster simulation is not a standard uniform-resolution box. It is instead made up of 352 individual zoom simulations that have been stitched together. Users are encouraged to consult the TNG-Cluster Data Documentation to understand some of the specifics before using this data.

simulation.hdf5 file:

TNG-Cluster has the virtual 'simulation.hdf5' container file available.

Merger Trees:

TNG-Cluster has the SubLink merger trees available: they contain the progenitor/descendant connectivity, and essentially all Subhalo properties.

TNG-Cluster has the LHaloTree merger trees available: they contain the progenitor/descendant connectivity, and the most important Subhalo properties.

Note: Extracting sub-trees for individual galaxies or halos

The merger trees are generally quite large. If you are interested in making a galaxy/halo selection based on a complex criterion related to assembly history, merger history, etc, then you will need to download the full tree files. If, however, you are only looking to study the merger history of a few galaxies/halos, you should instead consider extracting sub-trees on the fly using the Web API.

Supplementary Data Catalogs:

TNG-Cluster has the Stellar Assembly catalog available.

TNG-Cluster has the Merger History catalog available.

  • Coverage: All snapshots, each in a separate file. All subhalos.
  •   Merger History (~few 100s MB to ~few GB, per snapshot)

TNG-Cluster has the "TNG-Cluster Catalog" available.

  • This dataset provides a large number of properties about each cluster.
  • Coverage: all 352 primary zoom targets (i.e. clusters), mostly $z=0$ properties.
  •   See documentation for download links.

TNG-Cluster has the Cluster Relaxedness catalog available.

TNG-Cluster has the Cluster Cool-core Criteria catalog available.

TNG-Cluster has the Cluster Projections catalog available.

  • Coverage: all 352 primary zoom targets (i.e. clusters), primarily at redshift z=0.
  •   Cluster Projections (16 GB per file i.e. per physical quantity and FoV, including all halos and 3 projections each)
