(2008) Deconstructing BAOs Kitching, Amara, Abdalla, Joachimi, Refregier (2008) Submitted next week. Full characterisation of cosmological systematics Refregier, Amara, Kitching, Rassat (2008) iCosmo source code description

Motivation Dark Universe, low redshift, cosmological tools & resources Easy, pain-free interface Open source Community involvement CMBfast, CAMB, CMBeasy iCosmo

Source Code Open Source : download at Interactive and batch modes Online and in-code documentation Caters for all levels: research and teaching Easy Syntax IDL : large number of libraries, easy plotting Convenient development platform for research Easily extendable Coherent structure of routines and functions Many open source IDL libraries

Source Code > fid=set_fiducial(cosmo_in={w0:-0.95}) > cosmo=mk_cosmo(fid) In 2 lines calculated Distances (angular, comoving, luminosity, light travel) Hubble parameter Growth Factor (full derivative) Linear Power Spectrum Non-linear power spectrum

Source Code > sv=mk_survey(fid,’sv1’) > cl=mk_cl_tomo(fid,cosmo,sv) > cl_cov=mk_cl_tomo_cov(fid,cl,sv) In 3 more lines calculated Lensing power spectrum Covariance Same for BAO and SNIa

Source Code > fid=set_fiducial(cosmo_in={w0:-0.95}) > sv=mk_survey(fid,’sv1’) > fisher=mk_fisher_lens(fid,sv) In 3 lines can calculate Tomography Lensing Fisher Matrix Same for BAO and SNIa Combining Fishers is trivial
