Camelus

Description

Camelus is a fast weak lensing peak count modeling in C. It provides a prediction on peak counts from input cosmological parameters.

Here is the summary of the algorithm:

  • Sample halos from a mass function
  • Assign density profiles, randomize their positions
  • Compute the projected mass, add noise
  • Make maps and create peak catalogues

For a more detailed description, please take a look at Lin & Kilbinger (2015a).

Updates

Current release: Camelus v1.31

New features in v1.31 - Mar 22, 2016:

  • Made installation more friendly by removing the dependency on cfitsio and mpi
  • Added the routine for computing 1-halo & 2-halo terms of the convergence profile
  • Flexible parameter space for PMC ABC
  • Remove files: FITSFunctions.c/.h

New features in v1.3 - Dec 09, 2015:

  • New files: constraint.c/.h
  • Allowed multiscale peaks in one data vector
  • Allowed a data matrix from several realizations
  • Used the local galaxy density as the noise level in the S/N
  • Increased the parameter dimension for PMC ABC
  • Changed the summary statistic options for PMC ABC

New features in v1.2 - Apr 06, 2015:

  • Improved the computation speed by a factor of 6~7
  • Converted the halo array structure into a binned structure, called "halo_map"
  • Converted the galaxy tree structure into a binned structure, called "gal_map"
  • Added the population Monte Carlo approximate Monte Carlo (PMC ABC) algorithm

New features in v1.1 - Jan 19, 2015:

  • Fixed the bug from calculating halo radii

New features in v1.0 - Oct 24, 2014:

  • Fast weak lensing peak count modeling
