CambGrowth

class hmf.cosmology.growth_factor.CambGrowth(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Growth factor computed using CAMB at k/h = 1.0.

Recommended for non-LambdaCDM cosmologies (e.g., wCDM) as it correctly deals with their growth evolution. For standard LCDM, other classes are preferred since this class requires re-calculating the transfer function.

Attributes

Methods

__init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]
dlne_dlna(z)

Compute the derivative of ln(E(a)) with respect to ln(a).

This is useful for the growth factor, which has terms \(E'(a)/E(a) \equiv (1/a)*dlnE/dlna\) in its definition.

This implementation simply uses the exact definition from astropy of E(a) and writes down the derivative analytically.

classmethod get_models() dict[str, type]

Get a dictionary of all implemented models for this component.

growth_factor(z)[source]

Calculate \(d(a) = D^+(a)/D^+(a=1)\).

Parameters:

z (float) – The redshift

Returns:

The normalised growth factor.

Return type:

float

growth_rate(z) float | ndarray

Compute the growth rate, \(f(a) = d\ln D^+ / d\ln a\).

Parameters:

z (array_like) – Redshift.

Returns:

gr – The growth rate at z.

Return type:

array_like

radiation_density(z)

The fractional radiation density as a function of redshift.
