In this talk......
• Emphasise how imminent delivery of SKADS `simulated skies’ will provide standard input for quantified comparison of `competing’ SKA design concepts - needs high quality product, i.e. refereed papers (mostly to be published by next DS2-T1 meeting; Jan 2008)
• Use `continuum’ simulations (not described elsewhere) as example - last chance for input!

Continuum simulations
• Rationale different from ‘Line’ approach (Obreschkow)
Not DM haloes from Millennium Simulation ascribed HI, star formation rates and AGN properties, because insufficient FOV for SKADS benchmark
• But DM density field evolved under linear theory, populated with objects from known radio luminosity functions, and with other important physics (e.g. non-linear structures, source models) `pasted on’
Steve Rawlings2nd SKADS Workshop, Paris, October 2007
Basic methodology
(Δρ/ρ)DM evolved under linear theory in each 20 Mpc/h cell
Redshift In each cell, for each source type:
• Define DM halo mass for each source type and compute bias b(M,z)
• Compute mean number of sources above flux limit, n0, in absence of clustering
• Amplify fluctuations in underlying DM density field:
n/n0 ~ exp[ b(M,z) (Δρ/ρ)DM ]
• Poisson sample the LF

Parent Source Types
• Radio-quiet quasars: Mhalo = 3E12/h M tied
to XLF of Ueda et al. (2003) • `FRI’ radio sources: Mhalo = 1E13/h M
Willott et al. (2001) 151 MHz LF
• `FRII’ radio sources: Mhalo = 1E14/h M Willott et al. (2001) 151 MHz LF
• Normal star-forming galaxies: Mhalo = 1E11/h M Yun et al. (2001) 1.4 GHz LF (low-L component) + PLE
• Starburst galaxies: Mhalo = 5E13/h M Yun et al. (2001) 1.4 GHz LF (high-L component) + PLE
Wilman et al, 2007

• Double Schechter-fn fit representing normal galaxies and starbursts
• We assume LF flattens below L1.4 GHz = 1020.5 W/Hz and integrate down to 1019
W/Hz (SFR ~ 0.01 M/yr)
• No need for an extra population of normal galaxies via an optical LF (à la Hopkins/Windhorst)

Faint source uncertainty
Star-forming galaxies
AGN
Hopkins et al. 2000 model
• Models diverge below 1 micro-Jy due mainly to inclusion of an extra population of ‘normal galaxies’ in the Hopkins/Windhorst models
• This extra population may not be needed- at least locally, the radio LF of infrared-selected galaxies accounts for all normal galaxies
Steve Rawlings2nd SKADS Workshop, Paris, October 2007
Extensions: (i) small-scale clustering
• Aim, to `paint on ‘ clustering on co-moving scales < 20 Mpc/h (cell-size)
• Uses a smaller size cell (5 Mpc/h) and a ‘mass filtering’ method to identify cluster-sized over-densities (which we have checked follow Press-Schechter-like mass distributions)
• FRI/II sources (and relic/halo sources) added to the clusters following `known’ occupancies (although problem due to differences before/after virialization).
• Star-formation to be suppresed in cluster cores.

FRI:
Log R(core:lobe) = 10.8 – 0.55logL151 + scatter
Γ=6 (for beaming)
FRII:
Log R(core:lobe) = -2 + scatter
Γ=8.5 for beaming
Hotspot:lobe ratio ~ 0.4*logL178 + const
• Cores and hotspots: point sources •lobes: uniform ellipses with varying axial ratio
• Pick-out blazars, core-dominated quasars, quasars and radio galaxies by angle
Steve Rawlings2nd SKADS Workshop, Paris, October 2007
Extensions: (iii) multi-frequency information
• SF-galaxies: -thermal free-free emission (α=0.1) -synchrotron emission (α=0.75 + scatter)
-free-free absorption for starbursts (τff=1 at 1 GHz) -dust emission
• Radio-loud AGN:-distribution in intrinsic linear size (ie simple radio source evolution model), spectral curvature (including CSS/GPS sources) -core-lobe-hotspot morphologies and flux division (lobes modelled as ellipses; spectral gradients+IC losses; environmental asymmetries) -Beaming of the steep-spectrum parent population (checked for consistency with high-frequency source counts)
