We present a neural network emulator for baryonic effects in the non-linear matter power spectrum. We calibrate this emulator using more than 50 000 measurements in a 15D parameter space, varying cosmology and baryonic physics. Baryonic physics is described through a baryonification algorithm, which has been shown to accurately capture the relevant effects on the power spectrum and bispectrum in state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations. Cosmological parameters are sampled using a cosmology…
