Resumen:

 Realistic simulations have become essential for designing and developing current large surveys, which will produce unprecedented amounts of data. In this context, we present MAMBO, a flexible and efficient workflow to build empirical galaxy and AGN mock catalogues that reproduce these sources’ observed physical properties and statistical distributions. Following an empirical methodology, we populate simulated dark matter halos with galaxies and AGN, and we use observed distribution functions to assign different physical parameters to our mock AGN, such as stellar mass, multiwavelength (X-ray and NIR to UV) luminosity, multiwavelength obscuration, as well as observables such as broadband magnitudes and optical spectra.
