Veome's Senior Thesis repo '21. Uses existing HST results to model the expected SIDM cross-section constraints achievable by SuperBIT.
- Run
generate_catalog.ipynb
. This will give all the COSMOS sources in terms of Shape Band AB Mags. WARNING: This may take several minutes. - Run
neff_superbit.ipynb
. This notebook estimates the Background Galaxy Density (Neff) vs AB Magnitude observed by SuperBIT, factoring in blending as well as band effects. - Run
sidm_uncertainty.ipynb
. This notebook uses a given Neff to estimate the constraints on SIDM cross-section. This computation is a back-of-the-envelope implementation of the complete HST simulations done in Harvey 13 and Harvey 14.
