The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper asks whether the long-standing mismatch between dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) and massive quiescent galaxies (MQs) in galaxy formation models can be cured by systematic calibration rather than by changing the physics by hand. The authors use the MCMC mode of the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model to fit 15 free parameters against nine different combinations of constraints, adding the number density of bright sub-millimetre galaxies as a direct calibration target for the first time. Among the nine best-fit models, one configuration — 'no HIMF', which drops the local neutral-hydrogen mass function from the constraint set — matches the observed 870-micron number counts and stays consistent with the lower limits on the high-redshift massive quiescent population. The price of that compromise is specific physics: high star-formation efficiency in merger-driven starbursts and supermassive-black-hole growth by cold-gas accretion that does not depend on halo mass. The result matters because it demonstrates that the SMG-MQ tension can be partly absorbed by parameter-space exploration, while also exposing how degenerate the fitted mechanisms are.

What carries the argument

The carrying object is the MCMC calibration mode of the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model, which explores 15 free parameters against chosen observables using a representative sample of dark-matter merger trees. Two new pieces are added: a merger-tree sampling procedure that keeps the rare SMG population representative, and a direct SMG number-density constraint built by converting simulated galaxies to 870-micron flux densities with the Cochrane et al. (2023a) scaling relations. The diagnostic that carries the physical interpretation is a set of fitted scaling laws — the merger starburst efficiency $M_{\star,\mathrm{burst}}/M_{\mathrm{cold}}$ vs mass ratio, the SN feedback efficiencies vs $V_{\mathrm{max}}$, and the SMBH cold-gas accretion fraction $\Delta M_{\mathrm{BH,Q}}/M_{\mathrm{cold}}$ vs $V_{\mathrm{200c}}$. The 'no HIMF' configuration's signature is a nearly flat SMBH accretion fraction combined with steep merger-starburst efficiency, which together let galaxies build stars and black holes rapidly and then quench.

What would settle it

Run the identical calibration with sub-mm fluxes computed from a dust-tracking version of L-Galaxies or from radiative-transfer post-processing; if the resulting SMG number-density target moves significantly, the 'no HIMF' parameters are an artifact of the scaling relations. A sharper observational test would be an MQ number-density measurement at z~3-4 whose central value sits clearly above the lower limits used here, since that would rule out the 'no HIMF' compromise.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim is that the L-Galaxies SAM contains a parameter combination that simultaneously reproduces the observed number density of DSFGs and the observationally-derived lower limits for high-redshift massive quiescent galaxies. This is configuration 'no HIMF', calibrated against the Leja et al. (2020) stellar mass functions and Leja et al. (2022) quiescent fractions at $z=0.4$ and $z=2.8$, plus the AS2UDS SMG number density at $z\sim2.8$. Its best-fit parameters imply that merger-induced starbursts convert a large fraction of cold gas into stars even in minor mergers, and that the fraction of cold gas accreted by SMBHs during mergers is nearly flat with halo virial velocity, so massive black holes can grow quickly. The paper also claims this fit produces an SMBH mass function at $z=0$ in better agreement with observations than the other configurations, while the fitted models that instead match DSFGs best fail on the quiescent population, and vice versa. The authors frame the result as a step toward resolving the tension, not a unique solution: nearly equally good fits span about two dex in feedback efficiencies.

Load-bearing premise

The fit's load-bearing premise is that the 870-micron scaling relations used here (plus a fixed 40% dust-to-metal ratio for cold-gas metals) correctly translate simulated galaxies into sub-mm brightness; if that translation is biased, the best-fit parameters — including the claimed merger efficiencies and SMBH accretion behavior — would shift.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Adding a single SMG number-density constraint at $z\sim2.8$ lifts predicted 870-micron number counts from more than two orders of magnitude below observation to within a factor of a few across an order of magnitude in flux density.
  • When the SMG constraint is included, the model that also matches the massive quiescent lower limits is 'no HIMF'; dropping the $z=0$ HI mass function does not break its HI predictions, so the HIMF appears to be a less critical constraint than previously assumed.
  • The best-fit physics of the 'no HIMF' model — high merger-driven starburst efficiencies and halo-mass-independent SMBH cold-gas accretion — provides a concrete, testable alternative to top-heavy IMF modifications for producing bright SMGs.
  • The $z=0$ SMBH mass function is not used in calibration, yet it discriminates between the two SMBH growth modes (peaked vs Schechter-like), so future calibrations that include it should break some of the degeneracies shown in Figure 15.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The same calibration recipe could be transferred to other semi-analytic and cosmological simulation pipelines, offering a route to the SMG-MQ compromise without changing the IMF.
  • The fitted halo-mass-independence of SMBH cold-gas accretion is probably a stand-in for a more physical trigger: the MCMC finds that rapid black-hole growth must accompany rapid merger starbursts, so an explicit coupling between starburst-driven turbulence and black-hole feeding could reproduce the same observable.
  • Because the 40% dust-to-metal assumption is fixed rather than fitted, repeating the calibration with a dust-evolution model would directly test whether the claimed parameters are an artifact of the dust recipe rather than a required property of galaxy formation.
  • The representative merger-tree selection method should work for any rare tracer with a defined number density, so similar one-point constraints could bring other rare populations — for example high-redshift quasars or bright Lyman-alpha emitters — into MCMC calibration loops.

Referee Report

3 major / 5 minor

Summary. The paper uses the MCMC mode of the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model to calibrate 15 free parameters against nine combinations of observational constraints, including a newly implemented constraint on the number density of bright sub-mm galaxies (S870 >= 5.2 mJy at z ~ 2.8), computed from the Cochrane et al. (2023a) scaling relations with an assumed dust-to-metal ratio of 40%. After calibrating each configuration, the authors run the full Millennium volume and compare predictions for stellar mass functions, quiescent fractions, the HIMF, sub-mm number counts, redshift distributions, massive quiescent number densities, cosmic star formation rate density, and SMBH mass functions. They find that configurations including the nSMG constraint reproduce the cumulative S870 number counts within a factor of a few but underpredict the adopted nSMG at z = 2.8 by at least a factor of 2.5; none of the models matches the median high-redshift MQ number density, though some (notably 'no HIMF') reach the observational lower limits. The 'no HIMF' configuration is presented as the best compromise, and the paper argues that it requires high merger-induced star-formation efficiencies and a nearly halo-mass-independent SMBH cold-gas accretion rate. A degeneracy analysis (Section 4.3) shows that models within 1 dex of the best-fit likelihood span a wide range of physical scaling relations.

Significance. The paper's contribution is methodological and empirical: it systematically explores nine constraint configurations within the L-Galaxies MCMC framework and introduces, for the first time in this framework, a sub-mm number density as a direct calibration constraint. The resulting mock catalogues and number-count predictions are falsifiable, and the comparison to observations is transparent. If the central result holds, the 'no HIMF' configuration is a viable L-Galaxies variant that improves the long-standing SMG-MQ tension, and the paper demonstrates the value of robust calibration in exposing degeneracies. The explicit analysis of model degeneracy (Section 4.3) is a strength, as it quantifies how little the current observables constrain the underlying physical scalings. However, the claimed physical requirements are not yet robust because of the sensitivity to the dust-to-metal assumption and the degeneracy among equally good fits.

major comments (3)
  1. [3.3.3, 5.4] The nSMG constraint is computed from S870 estimated with the Cochrane et al. (2023a) scaling relations applied to L-Galaxies galaxies, with the dust mass set to 40% of cold-gas metals (Section 3.3.3 and Section 5.4). Because L-Galaxies does not track dust, the likelihood for the only DSFG-related constraint depends directly on this single scalar assumption. The paper asserts that this is unlikely to affect the results, citing Remy-Ruyer et al. (2014), but provides no sensitivity test or error propagation. A factor-of-two change in the dust-to-metal ratio - within the scatter of the cited relation - would shift the predicted S870 and the number of galaxies above 5.2 mJy, and the MCMC would compensate with different best-fit parameters (e.g., alpha_SF,burst and the SMBH growth parameters f_BH and V_BH in Appendix B). The claim that the model 'requires' high merger star-formation efficiencies and halo-mass-independent SMBH accretion is therefore contingent on an unquantified calibration choice. Please add a sensitivity run or explicitly propagate the uncertainty in the dust-to-metal ratio.
  2. [4.1.4, Figure 6] The abstract states that the model 'reasonably matches the number density of DSFGs,' but the calibration target itself - nSMG at z=2.8 with S870>=5.2 mJy - is not reproduced: all configurations except 'no low-z SMF, fQ' underpredict this number density by at least a factor of 2.5, and the highlighted 'no HIMF' configuration is among those. The support for the abstract claim comes from the cumulative number counts across flux density (Figure 7), which is a different, weaker statistic, and from the z=2.0 point. Please either soften the abstract and conclusions to state that the model approaches or is within a factor of a few of the observed nSMG, or provide a justification for why a factor-2.5 miss at the adopted calibration point is acceptable.
  3. [4.3, Figure 15; Abstract] The abstract's causal claim that the identified model 'requires high star formation efficiencies in mergers and a null dependency of SMBH cold gas accretion on halo mass' is not supported by the paper's own degeneracy analysis. Figure 15 shows that parameter sets within 1 dex of the best-fit likelihood produce scaling relations spanning roughly two orders of magnitude, and for three of the four scalings the best-fit model does not occupy the most densely populated region. Thus the quoted physical properties are properties of a single best-fit point, not robust features of the acceptable model ensemble. The paper should either demonstrate that these physical scalings are common to the high-likelihood region or explicitly restrict the abstract and conclusions to the best-fit model.
minor comments (5)
  1. [3.5] The convergence criterion ('no new accepted point with a higher likelihood within the final ~1000 steps') is not a standard convergence diagnostic; please report a quantitative measure such as the Gelman-Rubin statistic or split-chain acceptance diagnostics.
  2. [3.2, Appendix A] The average relative errors quoted in Section 3.2 (~10%, ~25%, ~5%, ~20% for SMFs, f_Q, nSMG, and HIMF) are not consistent with the values in Appendix A, where the f_Q error at z=2.8 is reported as 35% and the nSMG error as ~2%. Please harmonize the numbers.
  3. [Figure 6] The x-axis of Figure 6 is labelled only 'Configuration' with numbers 0-8; please add tick labels matching Table 1 (e.g., 'baseH20', 'baseL20', etc.) to make the figure self-contained.
  4. [2] The text says 'To date, five more recent modifications of L-Galaxies have been published' but then lists six references (Yates et al. 2021; Ayromlou et al. 2021; Izquierdo-Villalba et al. 2022; Murphy et al. 2022; Spinoso et al. 2023; Yates et al. 2024). Please correct the count or the reference list.
  5. [3.3.3] The phrase 'we further modified L-Galaxies to include this factor in the SfrInst parameter' is vague; please specify exactly how the merger-induced starburst SFR is added to the instantaneous SFR, as this directly affects the S870 estimates.

Circularity Check

1 steps flagged · score 2.0 of 10

The z=2.8, S870>5.2 mJy normalization of the predicted number counts is the fitted constraint itself, but the rest of the calibration and the physical claims rest on independent external inputs.

  1. fitted input called prediction [Section 3.3.3 (nSMG constraint) vs Section 4.1.4 / Fig. 7 (predicted S870 counts)]
    "we adopted S870 = 5.2 mJy (where completeness exceeds 90 per cent) as the flux density threshold for our calibration. ... the number density of galaxies with S870 ≥ 5.2 mJy at z ∼ 2.8 is nSMG = (2.48 ± 0.3) × 10−5 h3 Mpc−3. ... The first notable result is that including the number density of galaxies with S870 ≥ 5.2 mJy at z = 2.8 as an observational constraint (a single data point) improves the consistency of the predicted S870 number counts with observational results."

    The nSMG calibration value is, by definition, the cumulative integral of the same predicted dN/dS counts above S870 = 5.2 mJy at z = 2.8. Thus the improvement at that specific point in Figure 7 is a restatement of the fitted constraint, not an independent prediction. However, Figure 7 also compares counts across an order of magnitude in S870 and Figure 8 covers the full redshift distribution, neither of which is fixed by the single nSMG point, so the circularity is partial and confined to the normalization at the calibration threshold.

full rationale

The central calibration target is external: the observed SMG number density is taken from Dudzeviciute et al. (2020), and the model S870 values are computed with the Cochrane et al. (2023a) scaling relations, which were calibrated from radiative-transfer post-processing and are not fitted to the present MCMC target. The 'no HIMF' model's massive-quiescent agreement is an out-of-sample comparison at z ~ 3.5 and uses a different quiescent definition (Carnall et al. 2020) than the fQ constraint, so it is not forced by the fit. The abstract's statements about high merger star-formation efficiencies and halo-mass-independent SMBH accretion are direct readings of best-fit parameters rather than predictions; the paper's own Section 4.3 explicitly shows large degeneracies among equal-likelihood models, which is an interpretation risk but not a circular reduction. The only mild circular element is that the z = 2.8, S870 > 5.2 mJy normalization of the 'predicted' counts is the fitted constraint itself; the shape of the counts and their redshift dependence remain genuine out-of-sample predictions. Overall, the paper's main calibration claim is self-contained against external data, and the identified issue is a limited, partial self-consistency effect rather than load-bearing circularity.

Galaxy formation models, particularly semi-analytic models (SAMs), rely on differential equations with free parameters to describe the physical mechanisms governing galaxy formation and evolution. Traditionally, most SAMs calibrate these parameters manually to match observational data. However, this approach fails to fully explore the multidimensional parameter space, resulting in limited robustness and inconsistency with some observations. In contrast, the L-Galaxies SAM features a unique Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) mode, enabling robust model calibration. Using this functionality, we address a long-standing tension in galaxy formation models: simultaneously reproducing the number densities of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) and high-redshift massive quiescent galaxies (MQs). We test nine combinations of observational constraints - including stellar mass functions, quiescent fractions, neutral hydrogen mass functions, and DSFG number densities - across different redshifts. We then analyze the resulting galaxy property predictions and discuss the underlying physical mechanisms. Our results identify a model that reasonably matches the number density of DSFGs while remaining consistent with observationally-derived lower limits on the number density of high-redshift MQs. This model requires high star formation efficiencies in mergers and a null dependency of supermassive black hole (SMBH) cold gas accretion on halo mass, facilitating rapid stellar mass and SMBH growth. Additionally, our findings highlight the importance of robust calibration procedures to address the significant degeneracies inherent to multidimensional galaxy formation models.
