Querying CosmoDC2 Mock v1 catalogs#
This tutorial demonstrates how to access the CosmoDC2 Mock V1 catalogs. More information about these catalogs can be found here: https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/Missions/cosmodc2.html
These catalogs can be accessed through IRSA’s Virtual Ovservatory Table Access Protocol (TAP) service. See https://www.ivoa.net/documents/TAP/ for details on the protocol. This service can be accessed through Python using the PyVO library.
# Uncomment the next line to install dependencies if needed.
# !pip install numpy matplotlib pyvo
import pyvo as vo
service = vo.dal.TAPService("https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/TAP")
List the available DC2 tables#
tables = service.tables
for tablename in tables.keys():
if not "tap_schema" in tablename:
if "dc2" in tablename:
tables[tablename].describe()
cosmodc2mockv1
CosmoDC2MockV1 Catalog - unabridged, spatially partitioned
cosmodc2mockv1_heavy
CosmoDC2MockV1 Catalog - stellar mass > 10^7 Msun
cosmodc2mockv1_new
CosmoDC2MockV1 Catalog - unabridged
Choose the DC2 catalog you want to work with.#
IRSA currently offers 3 versions of the DC2 catalog.
cosmodc2mockv1_newhas been optimized to make searches with constraints on stellar mass and redshift fast.cosmodc2mockv1has been optimized to make searches with spatial constraints fast.cosmodc2mockv1_heavyis the same ascosmodc2mockv1_new, except that it does not contain galaxies with stellar masses <= 10^7 solar masses.
If you are new to the DC2 catalog, we recommend that you start with cosmodc2mockv1_heavy
# Choose the abridged table to start with.
# Queries should be faster on smaller tables.
tablename = 'cosmodc2mockv1_heavy'
How many rows are in the chosen table?#
With TAP, you can query catalogs with constraints specified in IVOA Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL; https://www.ivoa.net/documents/latest/ADQL.html), which is based on SQL.
# For example, this snippet of ADQL counts the number of elements in
# the redshift column of the table we chose.
adql = f"SELECT count(redshift) FROM {tablename}"
adql
'SELECT count(redshift) FROM cosmodc2mockv1_heavy'
# In order to use TAP with this ADQL string using pyvo, you can do the following:
result = service.search(adql)
result
<DALResultsTable length=1>
count(redshift)
float64
---------------
597488849.0
The above query shows that there are 597,488,849 redshifts in this table.
What is the default maximum number of rows returned by the service?#
This service will return a maximum of 2 billion rows by default.
service.maxrec
2000000000
This default maximum can be changed, and there is no hard upper limit to what it can be changed to.
print(service.hardlimit)
None
List the columns in the chosen table#
This table contains 301 columns.
columns = tables[tablename].columns

Create a histogram of redshifts#
Let’s figure out what redshift range these galaxies cover. Since we found out above that it’s a large catalog, we can start with a spatial search over a small area of 0.1 deg. The ADQL that is needed for the spatial constraint is:
adql = f"SELECT redshift FROM {tablename} WHERE CONTAINS(POINT('ICRS', RAMean, DecMean), CIRCLE('ICRS',54.218205903,-37.497959343,.1))=1"
adql
"SELECT redshift FROM cosmodc2mockv1_heavy WHERE CONTAINS(POINT('ICRS', RAMean, DecMean), CIRCLE('ICRS',54.218205903,-37.497959343,.1))=1"
Now we can use the previously-defined service to execute the query with the spatial contraint.
cone_results = service.search(adql)
# Plot a histogram
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
num_bins = 20
# the histogram of the data
n, bins, patches = plt.hist(cone_results['redshift'], num_bins,
facecolor='blue', alpha = 0.5)
plt.xlabel('Redshift')
plt.ylabel('Number')
plt.title('Redshift Histogram CosmoDC2 Mock Catalog V1 abridged')
Text(0.5, 1.0, 'Redshift Histogram CosmoDC2 Mock Catalog V1 abridged')
We can easily see form this plot that the simulated galaxies go out to z = 3.
Visualize galaxy colors at z ~ 0.5#
Now let’s visualize the galaxy main sequence at z = 2.0. First, we’ll do a narrow redshift cut with no spatial constraint.
Let’s do it as an asynchronous search since this might take awhile.
service = vo.dal.TAPService("https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/TAP")
adql = f"SELECT Mag_true_r_sdss_z0, Mag_true_g_sdss_z0, redshift FROM {tablename} WHERE redshift > 0.5 and redshift < 0.54"
results = service.run_async(adql)
len(results['mag_true_r_sdss_z0'])
3833489
# Since this results in almost 4 million galaxies,
# we will construct a 2D histogram rather than a scatter plot.
plt.hist2d(results['mag_true_r_sdss_z0'], results['mag_true_g_sdss_z0']-results['mag_true_r_sdss_z0'],
bins=200, cmap='plasma', cmax=500)
# Plot a colorbar with label.
cb = plt.colorbar()
cb.set_label('Number')
# Add title and labels to plot.
plt.xlabel('SDSS Mag r')
plt.ylabel('SDSS rest-frame g-r color')
# Show the plot.
plt.show()
