摘要

We introduce a mock galaxy catalog built for the China Space Survey Telescope (CSST) extragalactic surveys using the primary runs of the Jiutian N-body simulation suites. The catalogs are built by coupling the galaxy evolution and assembly (gaea) semi-analytical model of galaxy formation with merger trees extracted from the simulations using the hierarchical bound-tracing (hbt+) algorithm. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and broadband magnitudes are computed using the neural-network-based stellar population synthesizer StarDuster, which is trained on radiative transfer simulations to account for detailed galaxy geometry in modeling dust obscuration. Galaxy light-cones up to z = 5 are subsequently generated with the Blic light-cone builder, which interpolates the properties of galaxies over time using an optimized interpolation scheme. The resulting catalogs exhibit good convergence in many statistical properties of the galaxy population produced from two different resolution simulations. The catalogs reproduce a number of observed galaxy properties across a range of galaxy mass and redshift, including the stellar mass functions, the luminosity function, gas mass fraction, galaxy size-mass relation, and galaxy clustering. We also present the photometric and redshift distributions of galaxies expected to be observed in the CSST surveys.
