Baisc Structures

  • jianbing: include all the codes used for this work and other TopN tests.

    • Most important codes for lensing analysis can be found under wlensing.py and scatter.py.
    • Our code depends on the dsigma galaxy-galaxy lensing package.
  • paper:

    • LaTeX source files of the TopN paper. (Will become available after submission).
  • notebooks: all the Jupyter notebooks for the TopN tests.

  • script: Python scripts for pre-computing the galaxy-galaxy lensing profiles and performing the TopN tests.

  • data: TopN tests results and other useful data files.

    • results: pickle files for different groups of TopN tests results.
    • simulation: lensing profiles and halo mass distributions of halos from MDPL2 and SMDPL N-body simulations.
    • bins: definitions of the default four TopN bins.
    • satellite: pickle files for comparing the lensing profiles of central-only and central+satellite samples.
    • index: index files used for cross-matching different samples.
