We present new constraints on the masses of the halos hosting the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies derived using graph neural networks. Our models, trained on thousands of state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project, only make use of the positions, velocities and stellar masses of the galaxies belonging to the halos, and are able to perform likelihood-free inference on halo masses while accounting for both cosmological and astrophysical uncertainties. Our constraints are in agreement with estimates from other traditional methods.

  1. Evaluating the flexibility of the MillenniumTNG galaxy formation model with multi-zoom re-simulations

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A parameter combination of the MillenniumTNG galaxy-formation model is found that reproduces the observed galaxy stellar-mass function and the lower gas fractions measured in groups and clusters, showing the model is ...

  2. Learning Cosmology from Nearest Neighbour Statistics

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Nearest-neighbour distance maps, combined with kNN-CDFs in a hybrid neural network, constrain Ωm and σ8 from Quijote halos with R2=0.80 and 0.93, matching or beating point-cloud methods at a fraction of the compute.
