Yangyao thanks Kai Wang for his enduring companionship and support 😉.
The empirical model UniverseMachine for halo-galaxy connection, and TRINITY for halo-galaxy-SMBH coevolution, have inspired our work for model design and implementation. Their comprehensive collection of observational datasets also helps us for model calibration and comparison.
