liuxx479/hmpdf

The hmpdf code computes one- and two-point PDFs, the covariance matrix of the one-point PDF, and the angular power spectrum/correlation function of cosmological fields.

The formalism is based on the halo model, thus, only fields that are mainly sourced by virialized matter make sense.

Currently, two fields are supported:

• thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (Compton-y)
• weak lensing convergence

The code is interfaced both through C header files as well as through a convenient python wrapper.

Using the python wrapper, a calculation of the weak lensing convergence one-point PDF for sources at redshift 1 in a cosmology given by a CLASS input file named "example.ini" would go like this:

from hmpdf import HMPDF
binedges = np.linspace(0.0, 0.3)
with HMPDF() as d :
    d.init('example.ini', 'kappa', 1.0)
    op = d.get_op(binedges)
# do something with the one-point PDF ...

Applications of the code can be found in

• Thiele, Hill, Smith 2019 (for the tSZ field)
• Thiele, Hill, Smith 2020 (for the weak lensing convergence field)

which we also request you cite if you use the code.
