Halo Mass Function ParametersΒΆ
The halo mass function is at the core of many calculations related to the high-z universe. glorb uses hmf, a halo mass function calculator written by Stephen Murray.
fitting_function
Which fit to the halo mass function should be used?
Options:
'PS'
: Press & Schecter (1974)'ST'
: Sheth & Tormen (1999)
Default:
'PS'
hmf_table
Path to a halo mass function lookup table.
Default:
None
hmf_analytic
Compute collapsed fraction, \(f_{\text{coll}}\), analytically? Only possible if
fitting_function='PS'
. Useful for testing numerical integration of the mass function.Default:
False
load_hmf

for halo mass function lookup table?Default:
True
hmf_logMmin
Base-10 logarithm of the minimum halo mass to consider.
Default: 4
hmf_logMmax
Base-10 logarithm of the maximum halo mass to consider.
Default: 16
hmf_dlogM
Base-10 logarithm of the mass resolution in halo mass function lookup table.
Default: 0.05
hmf_zmin
Minimum redshift in lookup table.
Default: 4
hmf_zmax
