BCemu

A Python package for modelling baryonic effects in cosmological simulations.

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 (Schneider et al. 2019), where gravity-only N-body simulation results are manipulated to include the impact of baryonic feedback processes. For a detailed description, see Giri & Schneider (2021).

INSTALLATION

One can install a stable version of this package using pip by running the following command::

pip install BCemu

In order to use the latest version, one can clone this package running the following::

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

The dependencies should be installed automatically during the installation process. If they fail, you can install them manually before installing BCemu. 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.

```python import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import BCemu

bfcemu = BCemu.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 keval = 10**np.linspace(-1,1.08,50) peval = bfcemu.getboost(z, bcmdict, keval)

plt.semilogx(keval, peval, 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 baryonification model. Model A assumes all three parameters to be independent of redshift while model B assumes the parameters to be redshift-dependent via the following form:

Below an example fit to the BAHAMAS simulation result is shown.

```python import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import BCemu import pickle

BAH = pickle.load(open('examples/BAHAMAS_data.pkl', 'rb'))

bfcemu = BCemu.BCM_3param(Ob=0.0463, Om=0.2793) bcmdict = {'log10Mc': 13.25, 'thej' : 4.711,
'deta' : 0.097}

zs = [0,0.5] keval = 10**np.linspace(-1,1.08,50) p0eval1 = bfcemu.getboost(zs[0], bcmdict, keval) p1eval1 = bfcemu.getboost(zs[1], bcmdict, k_eval)

bfcemu = BCemu.BCM3param(Ob=0.0463, Om=0.2793) bcmdict = {'log10Mc': 13.25, 'thej' : 4.711,
'deta' : 0.097, 'nuMc' : 0.038, 'nuthej': 0.0, 'nudeta': 0.060}

zs = [0,0.5] keval = 10**np.linspace(-1,1.08,50) p0eval2 = bfcemu.getboost(zs[0], bcmdict, keval) p1eval2 = bfcemu.getboost(zs[1], bcmdict, k_eval)

plt.figure(figsize=(10,4.5)) plt.subplot(121); plt.title('z=0') plt.semilogx(BAH['z=0']['k'], BAH['z=0']['S'], '-', c='k', lw=5, alpha=0.2, label='BAHAMAS') plt.semilogx(keval, p0eval1, c='C0', lw=3, label='A', ls='--') plt.semilogx(keval, p0eval1, c='C2', lw=3, label='B', ls=':') plt.axis([1e-1,12,0.73,1.04]) plt.yticks(fontsize=14) plt.xticks(fontsize=14) plt.legend() plt.xlabel(r'$k$ (h/Mpc)', fontsize=14) plt.ylabel(r'$\frac{P{\rm DM+baryon}}{P{\rm DM}}$', fontsize=21) plt.subplot(122); plt.title('z=0.5') plt.semilogx(BAH['z=0.5']['k'], BAH['z=0.5']['S'], '-', c='k', lw=5, alpha=0.2, label='BAHAMAS') plt.semilogx(keval, p1eval1, c='C0', lw=3, label='A', ls='--') plt.semilogx(keval, p1eval2, c='C2', lw=3, label='B', ls=':') 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()
