WebSky Extragalactic CMB Mocks
Provided are HEALPix .fits files over the full sky at nside=4096 of CIB (in MJy/sr) intensity, Compton-y, kSZ (mu K), CMB lensing convergence, and lensed and un-lensed CMB TT, EE, and BB maps, all from the same 12288^3 particle, 15.4 Gpc peak-patch and 2LPT based cosmological simulation, as well as the light cone halo catalog itself. The minimum halo mass used was ~1.4e12 M200,M. Higher resolution maps and different frequencies are available upon request. For a full description of the contents of these maps see The Websky Extragalactic CMB Simulations - https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08787.
