@DavidNavarroG do you have a piece of code reproducing this?
Hi @damonge,
Yes, I have a Jupyter notebook where you can create those plots, I attach it. I have also added a flag called 'z_fixed' that, when set to True, allows to select the IA bias parameters at a fixed redshift. If that's the case, the problem does not appear.
There seems to be an interpolation issue when computing the power spectrum for Intrinsic Alignments. The problem might come from the nl_pt.PTIntrinsicAlignmentTracer or nl_pt.get_pt_pk2d functions. When defining the IA bias parameters as a function of redshift, there is a bump in the power spectrum at the last bins of the redshift grid.
The next plot shows the problem for a redshift grid from 0 to 5:
This other plot is for a redshift grid from 0 to 3, the issue moves to the other redshift values, so it is not a physical problem:
