Foreground Simulation for 21 cm Reionization Signal Detection
=============================================================
The |FG21sim|_ is a low-frequency radio foregrounds simulator
aiming to provide the simulation of the common foregrounds
impeding the 21 cm reionization signal detection.
The simulated foregrounds can be used to evaluate the impacts of
different foreground components on the EoR signal, and can be also
used to help develop and test various foreground removal methods.
Features
--------
* Supported foreground components:
+ ``galactic/synchrotron``:
Galactic synchrotron emission
(*Note:* only the *unpolarized* part considered)
+ ``galactic/freefree``:
Galactic free-free emission
+ ``galactic/snr``:
Emission from Galactic supernovae remnants (SNRs)
+ ``extragalactic/clusters``:
Emission from extragalactic galaxy clusters
(*Note:* only giant radio halos)
* All-sky simulation by utilizing HEALPix
(*Note:* not all components are currently supported)
* High-resolution simulation within sky patches
* Configuration file allowing fine-grained control
* Well organized, commented, and documented
* Modular and highly extensible
* Command line tools, utilities, and resuable modules
Installation
------------
1. Install the required software and libraries:
* `CFITSIO <https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fitsio.html>`_
* `HEALPix <http://healpix.sourceforge.net/>`_:
only the C++ library required by
`healpy <https://github.com/healpy/healpy>`_.
* `LLVM <http://llvm.org/>`_:
(required by `llvmlite <http://llvmlite.pydata.org/>`_ that is
further required by `Numba <http://numba.pydata.org/>`_)
2. Clone this repository::
$ git clone https://github.com/liweitianux/fg21sim
3. Install the required third-party Python packages.
And it is recommended to use the `virtual environment`_::
$ cd fg21sim/
$ make venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) $
Check to make sure that this virtual environment is activated so that the
``python3`` and ``pip3`` are pointed to the virtual environment.
4. Install this software into the virtual environment::
(venv) $ python3 setup.py install
5. You are ready to use this software. Just have a look, e.g.::
(venv) $ fg21sim --help
Development
-----------
To ease the development and tests, you may want to install this package
in the **editable state**::
$ cd fg21sim/
$ pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
$ pip3 install --editable .
In addition, setting the environment variable ``DEBUG_FG21SIM`` forces
this software running at the ``DEBUG`` logging level.
