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 way baryons are treated in simulations changes the masses weak lensing recovers for galaxy clusters, and whether a galaxy-count proxy called richness can still be calibrated to those masses. The answer it defends is no for the first question and yes for the second: the weak-lensing mass bias is the same within uncertainties for the GadgetX and GIZMO-SIMBA hydrodynamical runs and a dark-matter-only run, when the lensing mass is compared with the true mass of the same simulation. The paper then measures the weak-lensing mass–observed richness relation, $\langle\log\lambda_{\rm obs}|M_{\rm wl}\rangle = A(z)+B(z)\log(M_{\rm wl}/M_p)$, and finds both hydro runs consistent within $1\sigma$; in the combined fit the intercept is redshift-independent, the slope is a second-order polynomial in $z$ but nearly flat below $z\simeq0.55$, and the scatter grows linearly with redshift. With a minimum stellar mass of $10^{10}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$, the simulated relation lines up with SDSS redMaPPer calibrations, so the fitted relations are offered as model priors for cluster-count cosmology.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing tool is a forward-model weak-lensing pipeline applied to the same 324 clusters run with GadgetX, GIZMO-SIMBA, and a dark-matter-only version. Particles within $\pm5$ Mpc along the line of sight are collapsed onto lens planes for three orthogonal projections, shear maps are sampled at 30 background galaxies per square arcminute, and the excess surface mass density profiles are fitted with a smoothly truncated Navarro-Frenk-White (BMO) profile using a Bayesian Monte Carlo Markov Chain to obtain $M_{\mathrm{wl}}$ and concentration. Richness is defined as the count of haloes and subhaloes above a stellar mass threshold in a cylinder of radius $R_{200}$ and height 10 Mpc, corrected for projected interlopers by subtracting $4/33$ of the halo count in an outer annulus (Eq. 14). The mass–richness relations are extracted by Bayesian linear regression with a Gaussian likelihood that propagates errors on both axes, producing the redshift- and stellar-mass-cut-dependent regression parameters in Tables 1 and 2.

What would settle it

Run the paper's cylinder-count richness estimator on a realistic mock galaxy catalogue that includes photometric noise and selection, then run the redMaPPer cluster finder on the same catalogue: if the redMaPPer richness differs from $\lambda_{\rm obs}$ systematically with mass or redshift beyond the quoted scatter, the calibration would not transfer to real surveys. A direct observational check is to measure the slope and scatter of the mass–richness relation for SDSS redMaPPer clusters at $z<0.3$ with a stellar-mass-complete sample and compare with the $M_{\mathrm{star,min}}=10^{10}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$ prediction.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper establishes that baryonic physics does not break the weak-lensing calibration of cluster masses. Comparing the average weak-lensing mass bias of the two hydro runs with the dark-matter-only reference, the biases agree when each hydro run is compared with its own true mass, while relative to the DM-only mass GadgetX masses run a few percent high and GIZMO-SIMBA a few percent low, with the offsets closing above $M_{200,\mathrm{DM}}\simeq10^{15}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$. It then constructs the observed richness from projected halo and subhalo counts with background subtraction, fits $\langle\log\lambda_{\rm obs}|M_{\rm wl}\rangle$ with a Bayesian linear regression, and shows that the two hydro codes give regression parameters consistent within $1\sigma$. In the combined model, the intercept depends only on the stellar mass threshold, the slope follows a second-order polynomial in redshift and stays roughly constant up to $z\simeq0.55$, and the scatter in richness at fixed weak-lensing mass grows linearly with redshift; the scatter is smaller when richness is tied to the true mass. At $M_{\mathrm{star,min}}=10^{10}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$ the observed-richness–weak-lensing-mass relation matches SDSS redMaPPer clusters, which is the paper's basis for offering the fits as priors for survey cluster cosmology.

Load-bearing premise

The load-bearing assumption is that counting simulated galaxies above a stellar mass limit in a cylinder and subtracting a fixed background fraction gives the same number that real survey algorithms such as redMaPPer record as richness; if real membership probabilities or the stellar-mass calibration do not match that count, the calibrated mass–richness relation would not apply to observed clusters.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • The weak-lensing mass bias of clusters can be calibrated without depending strongly on the galaxy-formation code: GadgetX, GIZMO-SIMBA, and the dark-matter-only run give the same bias and scatter when compared with their own true masses.
  • A single combined weak-lensing mass–observed richness relation, with the fitted redshift and stellar-mass-cut dependence, can be used for mapping survey richnesses to masses for cluster-count cosmology.
  • The slope of the relation stays nearly constant up to $z\simeq0.55$, so low-redshift survey analyses do not need a strongly evolving mass–richness calibration.
  • The scatter of richness at fixed weak-lensing mass grows linearly with redshift and is larger than the scatter at fixed true mass, so redshift-dependent scatter must be included in mass-observable likelihoods.
  • With a $10^{10}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$ stellar mass cut, the simulated observed-richness–weak-lensing-mass relation agrees with SDSS redMaPPer calibrations, giving an observational anchor for the simulation-based relation.

Reading between the lines

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

  • Because the paper fixes one source redshift distribution, ignores off-diagonal shape-noise covariance, and does not model mis-centering, the precise redshift trends of the slope and scatter may shift when those survey effects are included; the cross-code consistency is more robust than the absolute parameter values.
  • The $4/33$ geometric background subtraction and hard stellar-mass cuts approximate redMaPPer's probabilistic red-sequence membership; applying the same pipeline inside a mock with photometric errors and running redMaPPer on it would test whether the calibration transfers directly.
  • The small hydro-code-dependent difference in weak-lensing mass relative to the DM-only reference suggests that dark-matter-only halo mass functions could remain usable for very massive clusters, while surveys probing lower masses may need baryon-dependent mass corrections.
  • The match to redMaPPer at one stellar mass cut implies a testable program: add photometric and membership-selection models to the simulations and predict full richness distributions, including the tails that dominate cluster-count systematics.

Referee Report

3 major / 4 minor

Summary. The paper uses the Three Hundred project's zoom hydrodynamical simulations (GadgetX and GIZMO-SIMBA) together with a dark-matter-only run, for 324 massive clusters selected by M200 > 8e14 h^-1 Msun at z=0, to quantify weak-lensing (WL) cluster mass biases and to calibrate mass-richness relations up to z=0.94. The authors build simulated convergence/shear maps from random projections, fit smoothly truncated NFW profiles to the excess surface mass density, define an observed richness via cylinder counts of subhaloes above a stellar mass threshold with a geometric background subtraction (Eq. 14), and fit forward and inverse WL mass-richness relations. They report that the two hydrodynamical codes give WL mass-richness relations consistent within 1 sigma, that the intercept is redshift-independent, that the slope is approximately constant below z~0.55 and follows a quadratic in redshift, and that the scatter grows linearly with redshift. They further claim that, with a minimum stellar mass of Mstar,min = 1e10 h^-1 Msun, their relation aligns with SDSS redMaPPer cluster analyses.

Significance. If the central claims hold, the paper provides a valuable controlled comparison of baryonic effects on weak-lensing mass calibration and a useful set of fitting tables for mass-richness calibration. The main strengths are the use of two different hydrodynamical codes with identical initial conditions, a DM-only baseline, nine snapshots, projection-averaged weak-lensing profiles, explicit MCMC regression fits, and compact parameter tables (Tables 1-3) that can be used by future studies. The comparison of scatter at fixed true mass versus fixed weak-lensing mass is also a useful result. However, the survey-facing significance is conditional on the assumed mapping between the simulated cylinder richness and observed richness estimators such as redMaPPer, and on the idealized weak-lensing setup (diagonal covariance, fixed source redshift).

major comments (3)
  1. [§3, Eq. (14) and §3.2] The central claim that the simulated relation aligns with SDSS redMaPPer cluster analyses is not quantitatively validated. The observed richness in Eq. (14) is a cylinder count of subhaloes above a stellar mass threshold with a geometric 4/33 background subtraction, whereas redMaPPer uses red-sequence membership probabilities, an evolving 0.2 L* luminosity threshold, percolation, photometric redshift weighting, and a central galaxy treatment. The paper states in §3.2 that a stellar mass threshold 'better aligns' with redMaPPer, but no test of this mapping is provided. Since Mstar,min is a free parameter and the adopted value 1e10 h^-1 Msun was chosen partly to produce agreement, the claimed alignment may be a tuning artifact rather than evidence that the simulated richness reproduces the observed one. This is load-bearing for the survey-facing calibration. Please either validate the mapping by applying redMaPPer or AMICO to simulated galaxy catalogs, or explicitly reframe the comparison as a test of a simplified stellar-mass-based richness proxy and remove the 'aligns well' claim.
  2. [§2.2–§2.3, Eqs. (8), (12)–(13)] The weak-lensing analysis assumes a diagonal covariance matrix and a fixed source redshift zs=3. The diagonal covariance is acknowledged in the text, but it directly affects the reported 1-sigma consistency between GadgetX and GIZMO-SIMBA and the inferred scatter in the richness-mass relation: off-diagonal terms from correlated large-scale structure can substantially increase the uncertainties on the fitted masses. A fixed source plane at zs=3 is also not representative of typical surveys with broad source redshift distributions and photo-z errors, and it can bias the derived masses differently with redshift. The authors should test the sensitivity of their central WL mass bias and mass-richness scatter results to a more realistic source redshift distribution and to at least a block-diagonal covariance including large-scale structure terms, or restrict the claims accordingly.
  3. [§2.1, §3.1, §4] The sample is selected by M200 > 8e14 h^-1 Msun at z=0, so the richness-mass relations are calibrated on a mass-selected sample rather than on a sample selected by the richness observable. The paper notes that a true mass-selected sample is not strongly affected by Malmquist-Eddington biases, but for application to optically selected cluster surveys the selection function matters and can change both the slope and scatter. The calibration should either be convolved with realistic selection functions or the claims should be limited to the simulated mass-selected sample. This is especially relevant because the comparison with redMaPPer in Fig. 10 assumes that observed optical selection is equivalent to the simulated one.
minor comments (4)
  1. [§3] The text referring to Fig. 7 says that the Chen et al. (2024) model fails for Mstar,min = 10^12.5 h^-1 Msun, but the four panels in Fig. 7 show stellar mass cuts up to 10^10.75 h^-1 Msun; this appears to be a typo and should be corrected.
  2. [Table 2] The last column of Table 2 is missing formatting for the reported errors: entries such as '0.1260.003 + 0.0270.006z' should read 0.126 +/- 0.003 + (0.027 +/- 0.006) z.
  3. [§3.2] The comparison in Fig. 10 uses richnesses rescaled according to Table 5 of McClintock et al. (2019), but the text does not specify whether the simulated Eq. (14) richness is on the same scale as the rescaled redMaPPer richness before the fit; please state explicitly how the rescaling is applied to the simulated values or why it is not needed.
  4. [§2.3] The likelihood in Eqs. (16)–(17) includes the propagated mass uncertainty via B^2 sigma^2_logMwl but does not include an explicit intrinsic scatter parameter; the reported scatter sigma_log lambda_obs is therefore a residual scatter. The paper should clarify whether this residual scatter is meant to include intrinsic scatter and how the absence of an intrinsic scatter term affects the quoted uncertainties.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 1.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the mass-richness relation is an independently fitted calibration from simulation outputs, and the redMaPPer comparison uses external published data rather than a fitted parameter renamed as a prediction.

full rationale

The derivation chain is self-contained. Weak-lensing masses are obtained by fitting a truncated NFW profile to simulated shear profiles (Eqs. 9-13), and the observed richness is defined by an explicit counting procedure in Eq. 14, namely cylinder counts with a 4/33 background subtraction. The reported mass-richness relations in Tables 1-3 are Bayesian fits to these measured quantities, not quantities that are defined in terms of the fitted parameters. The claim of agreement with SDSS redMaPPer is an external comparison: the paper rescales literature redMaPPer richnesses using McClintock et al. (2019) Table 5 and compares them with the simulated relation at Mstar,min = 10^10 h^-1 Msun; the stellar mass threshold is not fitted to redMaPPer richness, and the paper does not claim that Eq. 14 reproduces the redMaPPer red-sequence membership algorithm. The self-citations, such as following the lensing procedure of Euclid Collaboration: Giocoli et al. (2024), are not load-bearing because the procedure is fully re-described in Sections 2.2-2.3. The fixed quadratic coefficients in the redshift evolution, c = -0.42 and c = -0.18, are a parameterization choice for the fitted trend, not inputs that force the result. Even if the adopted stellar mass threshold is a post-hoc comparison choice, that is a calibration or validation concern, not circularity. No step reduces, by construction or by self-citation, to its own inputs.

Assumptions & free parameters 5 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The central calibration rests on several chosen inputs: stellar mass cuts, a hand-fixed quadratic coefficient for the slope evolution, a fixed source redshift, an assumed background source density, and a truncation radius. None of these are derived in the paper; they are standard choices or calibration freedoms. No new physical entities are introduced.

free parameters (5)
  • Stellar mass cut Mstar,min = 10^10, 10^10.25, 10^10.5, 10^10.75 h^-1 M_sun
    Richness is defined by the number of galaxies above this threshold; the redMaPPer comparison uses one of these values, so the agreement is partly ensured by this choice (Sec. 3.2).
  • Quadratic redshift coefficient for slope (c) = -0.42 for WLOR, -0.18 for true mass relation
    Chosen independently of the stellar mass cut to describe the redshift evolution of the slope; no derivation is provided (Sec. 3.1, Tables 1-3).
  • Background source density n_gal = 30 galaxies per square arcmin
    Assumed for the WL shape noise term; affects the mass uncertainties and the fitted scatter (Sec. 2.2).
  • Truncation radius factor t = 3
    The BMO profile truncation at Rt=3 R200 is adopted from earlier work; it changes the outer profile and the recovered M200 (Sec. 2.3).
  • Pivot mass Mp = 3e14 h^-1 M_sun
    Used to rescale masses in the richness relation; changes the intercept but not the slope or the conclusions (Sec. 3).
assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption Simulated clusters from The Three Hundred represent real cluster population
    The 324 clusters are selected from MDPL2 with M200>8e14 h^-1 M_sun at z=0 and resimulated; the paper generalizes from this sample to clusters in the mass and redshift range of surveys.
  • standard math NFW and BMO truncated NFW profiles describe the cluster density
    The WL profile model uses a smoothly truncated NFW profile (Eq. 9), with concentration from Eq. 2; this is a standard assumption in the field.
  • domain assumption Subhalo stellar mass tracks observed galaxy population
    Richness is computed by counting subhaloes above a stellar mass cut; no photometric scatter, incompleteness, or membership probability is applied (Eq. 14).
  • domain assumption Diagonal covariance is sufficient for WL mass errors
    The analysis neglects off-diagonal covariance from large-scale structure and sample variance, explicitly stated in Sec. 2.3; this likely underestimates uncertainties.
  • domain assumption Fixed source redshift zs=3 represents background sources
    All lensing maps assume a single source plane at zs=3 instead of a full source redshift distribution (Sec. 2.2).

abstract

The mass of galaxy clusters estimated from weak-lensing observations is affected by projection effects, leading to a systematic underestimation compared to the true cluster mass, varying with both mass and redshift. The magnitude depends on the criteria used to select clusters and the spatial scale over which their mass is measured. We leverage hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters carried out with GadgetX and GIZMO-SIMBA as part of the Three Hundred project. We used them to quantify weak-lensing mass biases with respect also to the results from dark matter-only simulations. We also investigate how the biases propagate into the richness-mass relation. We aim to shed light on the effect of the presence of baryons on the weak-lensing mass bias and also whether this bias depends on the galaxy formation recipe; we seek to model the richness-mass relation that can be used as guidelines for observational experiments for cluster cosmology. We produced weak-lensing simulations of random projections to model the expected excess surface mass density profile of clusters up to redshift $z=1$. We then estimated the observed richness by counting the number of galaxies in a cylinder and correcting by projected contaminants. We derived the weak-lensing mass-richness relation and found consistency across hydrodynamical simulations. The intercept parameter of the relation is independent of redshift but varies with the minimum of the stellar mass to define the richness. At the same time, the slope is relatively constant up to $z=0.55$. The scatter in observed richness at a fixed weak-lensing mass increases linearly with redshift at a fixed stellar mass cut. As expected, we observed that the scatter in richness at a given true mass is smaller than at a given weak-lensing mass. Our results for the weak-lensing mass-richness relation align well with SDSS redMaPPer cluster analyses. [Abridged]
