LimberJack.jl: auto-differentiable methods for angular power spectra analyses
The Open Journal of Astrophysics Maynooth Academic Publishing 7 (2024)
Abstract:
We present LimberJack.jl, a fully auto-differentiable code for cosmological analyses of 2 point auto- and cross-correlation measurements from galaxy clustering, CMB lensing and weak lensing data written in Julia. Using Julia’s auto-differentiation ecosystem, LimberJack.jl can obtain gradients for its outputs an order of magnitude faster than traditional finite difference methods. This makes LimberJack.jl greatly synergistic with gradient-based sampling methods, such as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, capable of efficiently exploring parameter spaces with hundreds of dimensions. We first prove LimberJack.jl’s reliability by reanalysing the DES Y1 3×2-point data. We then showcase its capabilities by using a O(100) parameters Gaussian Process to reconstruct the cosmic growth from a combination of DES Y1 galaxy clustering and weak lensing data, eBOSS QSO’s, CMB lensing and redshift-space distortions. Our Gaussian process reconstruction of the growth factor is statistically consistent with the ΛCDM Planck 2018 prediction at all redshifts. Moreover, we show that the addition of RSD data is extremely beneficial to this type of analysis, reducing the uncertainty in the reconstructed growth factor by 20% on average across redshift. LimberJack.jl is a fully open-source project available on Julia’s general repository of packages and GitHub.Relativistic drag forces on black holes from scalar dark matter clouds of all sizes
