SZ¶

class szpack_wrapper.SZ(cosmo=None)[source]¶

This class defines high level interface to call SZpack.

The SZpack works with the dimensionless (yet cosmology dependent) wavelength x defined as

\[x \equiv \frac{h\nu}{k_BT_{CMB0}}\]

wavelength_to_x() and x_to_wavelength() can be used to convert between x and Quantity instance.

Parameters

cosmoCosmology: The cosmology to use. default_cosmology is used if not set.

Attributes Summary

Methods Summary

`surface_brightness`(self[, runmode, x, …])	Compute the SZ surface_brightness.
`wavelength_to_x`(self, wavelength)	Return the dimensionless wavelength.
`x_to_wavelength`(self, x)	Return the wavelength as `Quantity`.

Methods Documentation

surface_brightness(self, runmode='3D', x=None, wavelength=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Compute the SZ surface_brightness.

The input can be either given as the dimensionless x or as Quantity.

The output is the SZ surface brightness as Quantity.

The runmode and kwargs is passed to SZpack wrapper to execute the calculation.

Refer to the README file of SZpack for more information of all run-modes supported and the associated arguments.

Parameters

Returns

wavelength_to_x(self, wavelength)[source]¶: Return the dimensionless wavelength.
