DarkMappy: mapping the dark universe

darkmappy is a lightweight python package which implements the hybrid Bayesian dark-matter reconstruction techniques outlined on the plane in Price et al. 2019, and on the celestial sphere in Price et al. 2021. For comparison (and as initilaisiation for our iterations) the spherical Kaiser-Squires estimator of the convergence is implemented (see Wallis et al. 2021). These techniques are based on maximum a posteriori estimation which, by construction, support principled uncertainty quantification, see Pereyra 2016. Further examples of such uncertainty quantification techniques developed for the weak lensing setting can be found in related articles Price et al. 2019a and Price et al. 2019b.

BASIC USAGE

For planar reconstructions across the flat-sky the estimator can be run by the following, note that images must be square.

import numpy as np
import darkmappy.estimators as dm

# LOAD YOUR DATA
data = np.load(<path_to_shear_data>)
ngal = np.load(<path_to_ngal_per_pixel_map>)
mask = np.load(<path_to_observation_mask>)

# BUILD THE ESTIMATOR
dm_estimator = dm.DarkMappyPlane(
           n = n,                   # Dimension of image
        data = data,                # Observed shear field
        mask = mask,                # Observational mask
        ngal = ngal,                # Map of number density of observations per pixel
         wav = [<select_wavelets>], # see https://tinyurl.com/mrxeat3t
      levels = level,               # Wavelet levels
 supersample = supersample)         # Super-resolution factor (typically <~2)

# RUN THE ESTIMATOR
convergence, diagnostics = dm_estimator.run_estimator()

For spherical reconstructions across the full-sky the estimator can be run by the following, note images must be of dimension L by 2L-1, see Mcewen & Wiaux 2011.

import numpy as np
import darkmappy.estimators as dm

# LOAD YOUR DATA
data = np.load(<path_to_shear_data>)
ngal = np.load(<path_to_ngal_per_pixel_map>)
mask = np.load(<path_to_observation_mask>)

# BUILD THE ESTIMATOR
dm_estimator = dm.DarkMapperSphere(
           L = L,             # Angular Bandlimit
           N = N,             # Azimuthal Bandlimit (wavelet directionality)
        data = data,          # Observational shear data
        mask = mask,          # Observation mask
        ngal = ngal)          # Map of number density of observations per pixel

# RUN THE ESTIMATOR
convergence, diagnostics = dm_estimator.run_estimator()
