Implement consistency unit test for Websky #139

Open zonca opened 1 year ago

zonca commented 1 year ago

I'd like to propose a sanity regression test for this. The middle CMB band is usually chosen to balance the power of the radio and CIB foreground components. Thus, it should have a similar power spectrum for the two components, and indeed this plot is how I found this bug. I think a very sensible unit test would be to simply compute the power spectra as below and then check that they are within i.e. two orders of magnitude.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import healpy as hp
from pysm3 import WebSkyCIB, WebSkyRadioGalaxies
import pysm3.units as u

model_cib = WebSkyCIB(nside=512)
m_cib = model_cib.get_emission(143*u.GHz)
cl_cib = hp.alm2cl(hp.map2alm(m_cib.value[0,:]))

model_radio = WebSkyRadioGalaxies(nside=512)
m_radio = model_radio.get_emission(143*u.GHz)
cl_radio = hp.alm2cl(hp.map2alm(m_radio.value[0,:]))

plt.plot(cl_cib, label="CIB")
plt.plot(cl_radio, label="Radio")
plt.legend()
plt.xscale("log"); plt.yscale("log")
plt.ylabel(r"$C_{\ell}$ [$\mu$K$^2]$ at 143 GHz")

Also here's the shot noise power for reference from Planck. image
