Table A.1.
Summary of the selection functions applied in MICE2 compared to the literature selection functions, for the SDSS Main galaxy sample, the BOSS CMASS and LOWZ samples, and the SDSS QSO sample.
| Sub-sample | SDSS selection | MICE2 object selection | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | rpet < 17.77 | r < 17.7 | |
| LOWZ | 16.0 < r < 19.6 | 16.0 < r < 20.0 | |
| |c⊥|< 0.2 | |c⊥|< 0.2 | ||
| r < 13.5 + c∥/0.3 | r < 13.35 + c∥/0.3 | ||
| CMASS | 17.5 < i < 19.9 | 17.5 < i < 20.1 | |
| d⊥ > 0.55 | d⊥ > 0.55 | ||
| i < 19.86 + 1.6(d⊥ − 0.8) | i < 19.98 + 1.6(d⊥ − 0.7) | ||
| r − i < 2.0 | r − i < 2.0 | ||
| QSO | — | flag_central == 1 | Substitute selection to compensate that MICE2 does not contain quasars. |
| — | log10(Mhalo) > 13.3 | ||
| — | log10(M⋆) > 11.2 | ||
Notes. All selections here invoke “and” logic: rule1& rule2& etc. A long dash (—) indicates a selection which cannot be applied to MICE2. Deliberate adjustments that yield a better match in the simulated and real redshift distributions are highlighted in bold-face.
