Code for producing fast simulations of the SZ effect for galaxy halos of varying z,
We provide an environment specification file for conda or mamba users at environment.yml. With conda, an environment is created by conda env create -f environment.yml. With micromamba the env is omitted and a new environment is instead created with micromamba create -f environment.yml.
The simulated CMB signal relies on camb and utilities for saving rely on h5py.
From the top-level directory, you can do pip install .
The usage of this code is documented in notebooks/demo_simulation.ipynb. A detailed walkthrough of the functions available in this code is in notebooks/demo_full_pipeline.ipynb.
A full list of potential inputs is documented in settings/config.yaml and you can edit settings/inputdata.yaml to reflect your desired simulation settings.
dm_halo_dist.py generates a z, make_sz_cluster.py create pressure profiles, Compton-y, and SZ signal maps from these halos of various z, simtools.py and white noise from noise.py. Plotting tools are provided in visualization.py.
