CARDiAC

Code for Anisotropic Redshift Distributions in Angular Clustering

CARDiAC is a python code that computes the impact of anisotropic redshift distributions on a wide class of angular clustering observables, following Baleato Lizancos & White 2023.

At present, the code supports auto- and cross-correlations of galaxy samples and cosmic shear maps, including galaxy -galaxy lensing. The anisotropy can be present in the mean redshift and/or width of Gaussian distributions, as well as in the fraction of galaxies in each component of multi-modal distributions. Templates of these variations can be provided by the user or simulated internally within the code.

Installation

The code can be installed simply by running

 python -m pip install

Dependencies:

• numpy, scipy, matplotlib
• astropy
• healpy
• camb, anzu (though the user could replace them with their own power spectra)
• numba for JIT compilation of galaxy lensing kernels, which are slow to compute otherwise

Usage

See Tutorial.ipynb at the code's repository on Github.
