Available Published Catalogues
This page lists mock galaxy catalogues generated with SCAMPy and made available for public use. Catalogues are distributed as collections of HDF5 files, one per redshift slice, hosted on Google Drive. Access is granted on request: click the download link for the catalogue of interest and request access through the Google Drive interface.
If you use any of these catalogues in your work, please cite the corresponding paper listed in the table below.
Note
Access requests are reviewed manually. This allows the authors to keep track of the user community and to notify users of updates or corrections.

RadioMocks — Ronconi et al. (2026)
These catalogues are described in Sec. 3.2 of [Ronconi et al. (2026)]. They are built on a DEMNUni dark-matter light-cone simulation (Carbone et al. 2016, Parimbelli et al. 2022) using the full SCAMPy pipeline: a probabilistic halo-occupation distribution (HOD) selects host sub-haloes, and sub-halo abundance matching (SHAM) assigns observed radio properties to each host.
Two catalogues are provided, differing in flux-limit depth:
the shallow catalogue is fully constrained by existing observational data (VLA-COSMOS and ALFALFA) and is complete above the flux limits of current wide-area surveys;
the deep catalogue extends the calibrated model to the expected sensitivity limits of future SKA surveys.
Each catalogue is distributed as a collection of 42 HDF5 files, one per redshift slice, spanning \(0 < z \leq 5\) for the continuum population and \(0 < z \leq 0.5\) for the HI population.

Data format
Each redshift-slice file is an HDF5 file containing a single group galaxies/
with one dataset per field. All entries in a slice file represent objects
detected in at least one catalogue (CoG or HIG); the boolean flags catCoG
and catHIG indicate membership. Comoving coordinates are in the simulation
frame; sky coordinates are derived from the light-cone geometry described in the
paper.
The files can be read with scampy.io.hdf5.load_from_hdf5(), which returns
a nested dictionary keyed first by group name, then by field name:
from scampy.io.hdf5 import load_from_hdf5
data = load_from_hdf5("Catalogue_FluxLim_z0.01.hdf5")
galaxies = data["galaxies"]
# sky coordinates (all objects)
ra, dec, z = galaxies["RA"], galaxies["Dec"], galaxies["Red"]
# select the continuum sub-catalogue
cog_mask = galaxies["catCoG"]
flux_1400 = galaxies["I1400"][cog_mask] # µJy
# select the HI sub-catalogue
hig_mask = galaxies["catHIG"]
hi_flux = galaxies["HI flux"][hig_mask] # mJy·Hz
