Codes


CLASS: the Cosmic Linear Anisotropy Solving System
Patches for Lewis & Challinor's CAMB and Lewis & Briddle's CosmoMC public codes:
  • Inflation module v2 (for computing numerically the scalar/tensor primordial spectra given a function H(phi) or V(phi), and for reconstructing the likelihood of the parameters of these functions from the data).
    For details, see " What do WMAP and SDSS really tell about inflation?" by Julien Lesgourgues, Alexei A. Starobinsky, Wessel Valkenburg, JCAP01(2008)010 [arXiv:0710.1630].
  • 3D Weak Lensing module (for computing numerically the weak lensing angular correlation functions in various redhsift bins, and comparing with 2007 data from the HST COSMOS project).
    For details, see "A Combined analysis of Lyman-alpha forest, 3D Weak Lensing and WMAP year three data" by Julien Lesgourgues, Matteo Viel, Martin G. Haehnelt, Richard Massey (Caltech), JCAP 0711:008,2007 [arXiv:0705.0533]
  • Mock CMB data generator module (including CMB lensing map) and Parameter forecast module for mock CMB data (including CMB lensing extraction) .
    For details, see "Probing cosmological parameters with the CMB: Forecasts from full Monte Carlo simulations" by Laurence Perotto, Julien Lesgourgues, Steen Hannestad, Huitzu Tu, Yvonne Y.Y. Wong, JCAP 0610 (2006) 013 [astro-ph/0606227]. The raw chains used in this paper can be downloaded here.
