# Configurations for "fg21sim"
# -*- mode: conf -*-

# Syntax: `ConfigObj`, https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj
#
# There are various configuration options that specify the input data
# and/or templates required by the simulations, the properties of the input
# data, the output products, as well as some parameters affecting the
# simulation behaviors.
#
# This file contains the options corresponding the extragalactic emission
# components, which currently includes the following components:
# - clusters: halos
# - pointsources

  # significant fluctuations (several or even several tens of times
