BaryonForge 1.0.0

A pipeline for adding baryonic imprints and thermodynamic maps to N-body simulations

Overview

A pipeline for Baryonifying N-body simulations, by adding baryon-induced corrections to the density field and/or adding thermodynamic fields such as the gas pressure, temperature etc. The entire modelling pipeline is built out of the Core Cosmology Library (CCL).

Features

• Baryonification & Painting: Modify density fields from N-body simulations and/or paint any field that has a halo profile associated with it

• Maps, grids, and snapshots: Work directly with 2D fields (eg. HealPix maps or 2D grids) but can also use 3D grids or full particle snapshots

• Parallelized: Painting and baryonification is parallelized under joblib.

A detailed documentation is available at readthedocs.

Environment

The BaryonForge pipeline is designed to have minimal dependencies on external packages. The environment.yaml file can be used to create an environment that contains all necessary packages prior to your installation. We only specify two hard requirements, which is pyccl==2.8 and numpy==1.*, to avoid API-breaking changes.

Installation

The package can be installed through PyPi

pip install BaryonForge

You can also install directly from source, by running the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/DhayaaAnbajagane/BaryonForge.git

or alternatively you can download the repo yourself and set it up,

git clone https://github.com/DhayaaAnbajagane/BaryonForge.git
cd BaryonForge
pip install -e .

The latter will keep the source files in the location you git clone'd from, and is useful if you are developing on the pipeline and are making frequent edits to it.

Quickstart

import BaryonForge as bfg
import pyccl as ccl

#Add the healpix map and the lightcone halo catalog into the respective data objects
Shell   = bfg.utils.LightconeShell(map = HealpixMap, cosmo = cosmo_dict)
Catalog = bfg.utils.HaloLightConeCatalog(ra = ra, dec = dec, M = M200c, z = z, cdelta = c200c)

#Define a cosmology object, to be used in all profile calculations
cosmo   = ccl.Cosmology(Omega_c = 0.26, h = 0.7, Omega_b = 0.04, sigma8 = 0.8, n_s = 0.96)

#Define the DMO and DMB model which are the root of the baryonification routine
#The model params can be specified during initialization of the class.
#The Baryonification 2D class generates the offsets of density field.
#We setup an interpolator to speed up the calculations.
DMO     = bfg.Profiles.DarkMatterOnly(M_c = 1e14, proj_cutoff = 100)
DMB     = bfg.Profiles.DarkMatterBaryon(M_c = 1e14, proj_cutoff = 100)
model   = bfg.Profiles.Baryonification2D(DMO, DMB, cosmo)
model.setup_interpolator(z_min = Catalog.cat['z'].min(), z_max = Catalog.cat['z'].max(), N_samples_z = 10,
                         M_min = Catalog.cat['M'].min(), M_max = Catalog.cat['M'].max(), N_samples_M = 10,
                         R_min = 1e-3, R_max = 3e2, N_samples_R = 500,)

#The halo pressure profile as well. This is convolved with a Healpix window function
#and then tabulated for speedup
PRESS   = bfg.Profiles.Pressure(theta_ej = 8, theta_co = 0.1, mu_theta_ej = 0.1)
Pixel   = bfg.utils.HealPixel(NSIDE = 1024)
PRESS   = bfg.utils.ConvolvedProfile(PRESS, Pixel)
PRESS   = bfg.utils.TabulatedProfile(PRESS, cosmo)

#Run the baryonification on this one shell
Runner  = bfg.Runners.BaryonifyShell(Catalog, Shell, model = model, epsilon_max = 20)
New_map = Runner.process()

#Run the profile painting on this one shell
Runner  = bfg.Runners.PaintProfilesShell(Catalog, Shell, model = PRESS, epsilon_max = 20)
New_map = Runner.process()

See the /examples folder for more notebooks demonstrating how to use the code for different applications. Some examples also download simulations from the Ulagam Simulation Suite.
