# NFWProfile¶

class halotools.empirical_models.NFWProfile(cosmology=FlatLambdaCDM(name="WMAP5", H0=70.2 km / (Mpc s), Om0=0.277, Tcmb0=2.725 K, Neff=3.04, m_nu=[ 0. 0. 0.] eV, Ob0=0.0459), redshift=0.0, mdef='vir', conc_mass_model='direct_from_halo_catalog', concentration_key='halo_nfw_conc', **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

Model for the spatial distribution of mass and/or galaxies residing in an NFW halo profile, based on Navarro, Frenk and White (1995), arXiv:9508025.

For a review of the mathematics underlying the NFW profile, including descriptions of how the relevant equations are implemented in the Halotools code base, see Source code notes on NFWProfile and NFWPhaseSpace.

Parameters: cosmology : object, optional Instance of an astropy cosmology. Default cosmology is set in sim_defaults. redshift : float, optional Default is set in sim_defaults. mdef: str, optional String specifying the halo mass definition, e.g., ‘vir’ or ‘200m’. Default is set in model_defaults. conc_mass_model : string or callable, optional Specifies the function used to model the relation between NFW concentration and halo mass. Can either be a custom-built callable function, or one of the following strings: dutton_maccio14, direct_from_halo_catalog. concentration_key : string, optional Column name of the halo catalog storing NFW concentration. This argument is only relevant when conc_mass_model is set to direct_from_halo_catalog. In such a case, the default value is halo_nfw_conc, which is consistent with all halo catalogs provided by Halotools but may differ from the convention adopted in custom halo catalogs.

Examples

>>> nfw = NFWProfile()

conc_NFWmodel(*args, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

NFW concentration as a function of halo mass.

Parameters: prim_haloprop : array, optional Array storing the mass-like variable, e.g., halo_mvir. If prim_haloprop is not passed, then table keyword argument must be passed. table : object, optional Table storing the halo catalog. If your NFW model is based on the virial definition, then halo_mvir must appear in the input table, and likewise for other halo mass definitions. If table is not passed, then prim_haloprop keyword argument must be passed. conc : array_like Concentrations of the input halos. Note that concentrations will be clipped to their min/max permitted values set in the model_defaults module. The purpose of this clipping is to ensure stable results during mock galaxy population. Due to this clipping, the behavior of the conc_NFWmodel function is different from the concentration-mass relation that underlies it.

Examples

In the examples below, we’ll demonstrate the various ways to use the conc_NFWmodel function, depending on the initial choice for the conc_mass_model.

>>> fake_masses = np.logspace(12, 15, 10)


If you use the direct_from_halo_catalog option, you must pass a table argument storing a Table with a column name for the halo mass that is consistent with your chosen halo mass definition:

>>> from astropy.table import Table
>>> nfw = NFWProfile(conc_mass_model='direct_from_halo_catalog', mdef='vir')
>>> fake_conc = np.zeros_like(fake_masses) + 5.
>>> fake_halo_table = Table({'halo_mvir': fake_masses, 'halo_nfw_conc': fake_conc})
>>> model_conc = nfw.conc_NFWmodel(table=fake_halo_table)


In case your halo catalog uses a different keyname from the Halotools default halo_nfw_conc:

>>> nfw = NFWProfile(conc_mass_model='direct_from_halo_catalog', mdef='vir', concentration_key='my_conc_keyname')
>>> fake_halo_table = Table({'halo_mvir': fake_masses, 'my_conc_keyname': fake_conc})
>>> model_conc = nfw.conc_NFWmodel(table=fake_halo_table)


One of the available options provided by Halotools is dutton_maccio14. With this option, you can either pass in a table argument, or alternatively an array of masses via the prim_haloprop argument:

>>> nfw = NFWProfile(conc_mass_model='dutton_maccio14')
>>> fake_halo_table = Table({'halo_mvir': fake_masses, 'halo_nfw_conc': fake_conc})
>>> model_conc = nfw.conc_NFWmodel(table=fake_halo_table)
>>> model_conc = nfw.conc_NFWmodel(prim_haloprop=fake_masses)


Finally, you may also have chosen to define your own concentration-mass relation. If so, your function must at a minimum accept a table keyword argument. Below we give a trivial example of using the identity function:

>>> def identity_func(*args, **kwargs): return kwargs['table']['halo_mvir']
>>> nfw = NFWProfile(conc_mass_model=identity_func, mdef='vir')
>>> fake_halo_table = Table({'halo_mvir': fake_masses})
>>> model_conc = nfw.conc_NFWmodel(table=fake_halo_table)

cumulative_mass_PDF(scaled_radius, conc)[source] [edit on github]

Analytical result for the fraction of the total mass enclosed within dimensionless radius of an NFW halo,

$$P_{\rm NFW}(<\tilde{r}) \equiv M_{\Delta}(<\tilde{r}) / M_{\Delta} = g(c\tilde{r})/g(\tilde{r}),$$

where $$g(x) \equiv \int_{0}^{x}dy\frac{y}{(1+y)^{2}} = \log(1+x) - x / (1+x)$$ is computed using g, and where $$\tilde{r} \equiv r / R_{\Delta}$$.

See Derivation of the NFW cumulative mass PDF for a derivation of this expression.

Parameters: scaled_radius : array_like Halo-centric distance r scaled by the halo boundary $$R_{\Delta}$$, so that $$0 <= \tilde{r} \equiv r/R_{\Delta} <= 1$$. Can be a scalar or numpy array. conc : array_like Value of the halo concentration. Can either be a scalar, or a numpy array of the same dimension as the input scaled_radius. p: array_like The fraction of the total mass enclosed within the input scaled_radius, in $$M_{\odot}/h$$; has the same dimensions as the input scaled_radius.

Examples

>>> model = NFWProfile()
>>> Npts = 100
>>> scaled_radius = np.logspace(-2, 0, Npts)
>>> conc = 5
>>> concarr = np.linspace(1, 100, Npts)

dimensionless_mass_density(scaled_radius, conc)[source] [edit on github]

Physical density of the NFW halo scaled by the density threshold of the mass definition.

The dimensionless_mass_density is defined as $$\tilde{\rho}_{\rm prof}(\tilde{r}) \equiv \rho_{\rm prof}(\tilde{r}) / \rho_{\rm thresh}$$, where $$\tilde{r}\equiv r/R_{\Delta}$$.

For an NFW halo, $$\tilde{\rho}_{\rm NFW}(\tilde{r}, c) = \frac{c^{3}/3g(c)}{c\tilde{r}(1 + c\tilde{r})^{2}},$$

where $$g(x) \equiv \log(1+x) - x / (1+x)$$ is computed using the g function.

The quantity $$\rho_{\rm thresh}$$ is a function of the halo mass definition, cosmology and redshift, and is computed via the density_threshold function. The quantity $$\rho_{\rm prof}$$ is the physical mass density of the halo profile and is computed via the mass_density function. See Modeling the NFW Spatial Profile for a derivation of this expression.

Parameters: scaled_radius : array_like Halo-centric distance r scaled by the halo boundary $$R_{\Delta}$$, so that $$0 <= \tilde{r} \equiv r/R_{\Delta} <= 1$$. Can be a scalar or numpy array. conc : array_like Value of the halo concentration. Can either be a scalar, or a numpy array of the same dimension as the input scaled_radius. dimensionless_density: array_like Dimensionless density of a dark matter halo at the input scaled_radius, normalized by the density_threshold $$\rho_{\rm thresh}$$ for the halo mass definition, cosmology, and redshift. Result is an array of the dimension as the input scaled_radius.
enclosed_mass(radius, total_mass, conc)[source] [edit on github]

The mass enclosed within the input radius, $$M(<r) = 4\pi\int_{0}^{r}dr'r'^{2}\rho(r)$$.

Parameters: radius : array_like Halo-centric distance in Mpc/h units; can be a scalar or numpy array total_mass : array_like Total mass of the halo; can be a scalar or numpy array of the same dimension as the input radius. conc : array_like Value of the halo concentration.
