BCMemu

A Python package for modelling baryonic effects in cosmological simulations. Please go to BCemu for the actively maintained version.

Package details

The package provides emulators to model the suppression in the power spectrum due to baryonic feedback processes. These emulators are based on the baryonification model [1], where gravity-only N-body simulation results are manipulated to include the impact of baryonic feedback processes. For a detailed description, see Ref. [2].

INSTALLATION

To install the package from the source, one should clone this package running the following::

git clone https://github.com/sambit-giri/BCMemu.git

To install the package in the standard location, run the following in the root directory::

python setup.py install

In order to install it in a separate directory::

python setup.py install --home=directory

One can also install it using pip by running the following command::

pip install git+https://github.com/sambit-giri/BCMemu.git

The dependencies should be installed automatically during the installation process. If they fail, you can install them manually before installing BCMemu. The list of required packages can be found in the requirements.txt file in the root directory.

Tests

For testing, one can use pytest or nosetests. Both packages can be installed using pip. To run all the test script, run either of the following::

python -m pytest tests

nosetests -v

USAGE

Script to get the baryonic power suppression.

import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import BCMemu

bfcemu = BCMemu.BCM_7param(Ob=0.05, Om=0.27)
bcmdict = {'log10Mc': 13.32,
           'mu'     : 0.93,
           'thej'   : 4.235,  
           'gamma'  : 2.25,
           'delta'  : 6.40,
           'eta'    : 0.15,
           'deta'   : 0.14,
           }

z = 0
k_eval = 10**np.linspace(-1,1.08,50)
p_eval = bfcemu.get_boost(z, bcmdict, k_eval)

plt.semilogx(k_eval, p_eval, c='C0', lw=3)
plt.axis([1e-1,12,0.73,1.04])
plt.yticks(fontsize=14)
plt.xticks(fontsize=14)
plt.xlabel(r'$k$ (h/Mpc)', fontsize=14)
plt.ylabel(r'$\frac{P_{\rm DM+baryon}}{P_{\rm DM}}$', fontsize=21)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

The package also has a three parameter barynification model. Model A assumes all the three parameters to be independent of redshift while model B assumes the parameters to be redshift dependent via the following form:
