A 21cmFAST emulator of the first billion years
An emulator of 21cmFAST summaries, supporting three galaxy-formation models:
- ACG (v1; Breitman+23) — Atomic Cooling Galaxies (Pop II only). A 9-parameter emulator for the standard reionization scenario without mini-halos.
- radio (v2; Cang+24) — Radio Background. A 5-parameter emulator that adds a radio background sourced by molecular cooling (Pop III) stars on top of atomic cooling galaxies.
- MCG (v3; Breitman+26) — Molecular Cooling Galaxies. The most complete 11-parameter emulator, jointly modelling atomic and molecular cooling galaxies (Pop II + Pop III). Uniquely emulates the 2D cylindrical power spectrum P(k⊥, k∥) via a score-based diffusion model.
