Understanding the Output file

[Astro-Falcon]

This is just a fairly easy question, I ran the code and obtained the output files in the output folder. I only took the outputs for tCl, lCl and nCl. And the output I got was of the form below:

1:l 2:TT 3:phiphi 4:TPhi 5:dens[1]-dens[1] 6:dens[1]-dens[2] 7:dens[1]-dens[3] 8:dens[1]-dens[4] 9:dens[1]-dens[5] 10:dens[2]-dens[2] 11:dens[2]-dens[3] 12:dens[2]-dens[4] 13:dens[2]-dens[5] 14:dens[3]-dens[3] 15:dens[3]-dens[4] 16:dens[3]-dens[5] 17:dens[4]-dens[4] 18:dens[4]-dens[5] 19:dens[5]-dens[5] 20:phi-dens[1] 21:phi-dens[2] 22:phi-dens[3] 23:phi-dens[4] 24:phi-dens[5]

Now, I am interested in obtaining the nCls from this, how should I do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Astro-Falcon , so, for instance:

• "1:l" means that the first column contains the l values.
• "2:TT" means that the second column contains C_l^TT.
• "3:phiphi" means that the 3rd column contains the auto-correlation spectrum C_l^\phi\phi, where \phi is the CMB lensing potential.
• "12:dens[2]-dens[4]" means that the 12th column contains the C_l^\delta\delta spectrum of "density \delta in 2nd redshift bin" x "density \delta in 4th redshift bin" spectrum.
• "21:phi-dens[2]" means that the 21st column contains the cross-correlation spectrum C_l^\phi\delta of \phi with the density \delta in the 2nd redshift bin.

Thanks for replying, and what should column should I consent in case I want density Cls?

[lesgourg]

Hmm, I am not sure that you understood my answer... in the example above, 5-19 are all density C_l's.
