Raw

Spectra Without Windows

This code has now been replaced by the newer and more powerful 3D polyspectrum code PolyBin3D.

This repository contains details of the window-free analysis of non-uniform spectroscopic data. This uses the quadratic and cubic estimators described in Philcox 2020, Philcox 2021 and Ivanov et al. 2023, and additionally contains the data generated for the BOSS power spectrum and bispectrum analysis of Philcox & Ivanov 2021 and subsequent works.

Outline

  • pk/: Analysis code to estimate unwindowed power spectrum multipoles. We additionally supply the raw power spectrum measurements of BOSS, 2048 Patchy simulations and 84 Nseries simulations.
  • bk/: Analysis code to estimate unwindowed bispectrum multipoles. We additionally supply the raw bispectrum measurements of BOSS and 2048 Patchy simulations and 84 Nseries simulations.
  • paramfiles/: Example parameter files.
  • src/: Various Python utilities used in the unwindowed estimators.
  • slurm/: Example SLURM submission scripts.
  • generate_mask.py: Utility function to generate the background number density, n(r) from the survey mask and n(z) distribution. This is described in the code header.

Requirements

The scripts in this repository have the following dependencies:

  • python (2 or 3)
  • numpy
  • scipy
  • sympy (for generating spherical harmonics)
  • pyfftw (for FFTs)
  • nbodykit (for reading in data)
  • mangle (for reading survey mask files)

When applying the code to the BOSS survey, we use a number of products available on the BOSS SAS, which are referenced in the relevant paramfiles.
