Simplified framework for modeling the global 21-cm absorption signal, with a focus on studying the implications of non-standard 21-cm CMB temperature evolution. For details about the modeling, see 2009.03899.
Derived 21-cm absorption temperature (left) for various amounts of excess power-law photon temperature parameterization (right) from Fialkov and Barkana (2019).
The dependencies of the code are listed in environments.yml. In addition to the usual Python scientific stack, the astropy, classy, COLOSSUS, and tqdm packages are required.
- The notebook 01_basic_examples.ipynb contains basic high-level examples for running the code.
