CosmoDJ 0.0.2

Lightweight cosmological distance utilities for lensing forecasts.

CosmoDJ

CosmoDJ is a lightweight JAX package for cosmological distance calculations, written for strong-lensing cosmology forecasts and NumPyro workflows. The package currently provides angular-diameter distances, transverse and radial comoving distances, luminosity distances, and time-delay distances for CPL dark-energy cosmologies.

The default cosmology is Planck18Cosmology, implemented as a CosmoDJ parameter object. Runtime distance calculations are performed with JAX rather than Astropy. Astropy is used for physical constants and in tests as a reference implementation.

Installation

For local development:

cd /yourpath
pip install -e .

After PyPI release:

pip install CosmoDJ

Basic Usage

from cosmodj import angular_diameter_distance, angular_diameter_distances

Da = angular_diameter_distance(1.0)          # Mpc, default Planck18Cosmology
Dl, Ds, Dls = angular_diameter_distances(0.5, 2.0)  # Mpc

For older SLCOSMO-style code, the same lensing distances are also available under the tools namespace:

import cosmodj

Dl, Ds, Dls = cosmodj.tools.dldsdls(0.5, 2.0, cosmology, n=20)
Dl, Ds, Dls = cosmodj.tools.dldsdlsdldsdls(0.5, 2.0, cosmology, n=20)

angular_diameter_distance accepts scalar or array-like redshifts:

import jax.numpy as jnp
from cosmodj import angular_diameter_distance

z = jnp.array([0.5, 1.0, 2.0])
Da = angular_diameter_distance(z)

Custom Cosmology

from cosmodj import Cosmology, angular_diameter_distance

cosmo = Cosmology(
    Omegam=0.32,
    Omegak=0.0,
    w0=-1.0,
    wa=0.0,
    H0=70.0,
)

Da = angular_diameter_distance(1.0, cosmo)

Dictionary inputs are also supported:

from cosmodj import angular_diameter_distances

cosmo = {"Omegam": 0.32, "Omegak": 0.0, "w0": -1.0, "wa": 0.0, "h0": 70.0}
Dl, Ds, Dls = angular_diameter_distances(0.5, 2.0, cosmo)

NumPyro Example

import jax.numpy as jnp
import numpyro
import numpyro.distributions as dist

from cosmodj import Cosmology, angular_diameter_distance


def model():
    Omegam = numpyro.sample("Omegam", dist.Uniform(0.2, 0.4))
    H0 = numpyro.sample("H0", dist.Uniform(60.0, 80.0))

    cosmo = Cosmology(Omegam=Omegam, Omegak=0.0, w0=-1.0, wa=0.0, H0=H0)
    z = jnp.array([0.5, 1.0])
    Da = angular_diameter_distance(z, cosmo)

    numpyro.sample("Da_obs", dist.Normal(Da, 20.0), obs=jnp.array([1250.0, 1650.0]))
