Popsynth:一个通用的天体物理种群综合框架

Popsynth: A generic astrophysical population synthesis framework

J. Michael Burgess, Francesca Capel

摘要:

从天体物理学总体模拟通量和红移(距离)的调查是一项常规任务。\texttt{popsynth}提供了一个通用的、面向对象的框架,用于从各种分布和光度函数中生成综合调查,将选择函数应用于观测变量,并将其存储在便携式(HDF5)格式中。人口合成例程可以使用类或从可序列化的YAML格式,允许灵活性和可移植性。用户不仅可以对群体的亮度和距离进行采样,还可以为参数创建辅助分布,这些参数之间可以具有任意复杂的依赖关系。因此,用户可以模拟复杂的天体物理群体,可用于校准分析框架或快速测试想法。

英文摘要:

Simulating a survey of fluxes and redshifts (distances) from an astrophysical population is a routine task. \texttt{popsynth} provides a generic, object-oriented framework to produce synthetic surveys from various distributions and luminosity functions, apply selection functions to the observed variables and store them in a portable (HDF5) format. Population synthesis routines can be constructed either using classes or from a serializable YAML format allowing flexibility and portability. Users can not only sample the luminosity and distance of the populations, but they can create auxiliary distributions for parameters which can have arbitrarily complex dependencies on one another. Thus, users can simulate complex astrophysical populations which can be used to calibrate analysis frameworks or quickly test ideas.
