Number of z bins in lensing power spectrum using iCosmo
Posted: October 08 2008
Hi,
Congratulations on the super-useful iCosmo! It has already come in handy!
I was confused on one point though:
I checked the box "Cosmology Observables: Lensing Power Spectrum"
I selected "Lensing" for "Fisher Matrix 1"
Under "Experiments" I chose "DUNE" from "Fisher 1"
I changed "Number of redshift bins" to "5" to compare with some other results.
I click on the "Cosmology Errors" tab and I get:
"Survey 1: DUNE : Area = 20000.00 sq. deg., z error = 0.030(1+z), Med Redshift = 1.00, Gals per sq. arcmin = 40.00, No. z-bins = 10.00,"
whereas I had asked for 5 z-bins.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks so much for making all this lovely stuff public!
