Flatw0waCDM¶
- class astropy.cosmology.Flatw0waCDM(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Bases:
astropy.cosmology.core.w0waCDM
FLRW cosmology with a CPL dark energy equation of state and no curvature.
The equation for the dark energy equation of state uses the CPL form as described in Chevallier & Polarski Int. J. Mod. Phys. D10, 213 (2001) and Linder PRL 90, 91301 (2003): \(w(z) = w_0 + w_a (1-a) = w_0 + w_a z / (1+z)\).
- Parameters
- H0
python:float
orQuantity
[‘frequency’] Hubble constant at z = 0. If a float, must be in [km/sec/Mpc]
- Om0
python:float
Omega matter: density of non-relativistic matter in units of the critical density at z=0.
- w0
python:float
, optional Dark energy equation of state at z=0 (a=1). This is pressure/density for dark energy in units where c=1.
- wa
python:float
, optional Negative derivative of the dark energy equation of state with respect to the scale factor. A cosmological constant has w0=-1.0 and wa=0.0.
- Tcmb0
python:float
or scalarQuantity
[‘temperature’], optional Temperature of the CMB z=0. If a float, must be in [K]. Default: 0 [K]. Setting this to zero will turn off both photons and neutrinos (even massive ones).
- Neff
python:float
, optional Effective number of Neutrino species. Default 3.04.
- m_nuquantity-like [‘energy’, ‘mass’] or numpy:array_like, optional
Mass of each neutrino species in [eV] (mass-energy equivalency enabled). If this is a scalar Quantity, then all neutrino species are assumed to have that mass. Otherwise, the mass of each species. The actual number of neutrino species (and hence the number of elements of m_nu if it is not scalar) must be the floor of Neff. Typically this means you should provide three neutrino masses unless you are considering something like a sterile neutrino.
- Ob0
python:float
orpython:None
, optional Omega baryons: density of baryonic matter in units of the critical density at z=0. If this is set to None (the default), any computation that requires its value will raise an exception.
- name
python:str
orpython:None
, optional Name for this cosmological object.
- H0
