philipp128 commented 2 years ago

Description

This function returns the logistic completeness function:

              1
p(m) = -----------------
       1 + exp{-k(m-m0)}

that describes the probability p(m) that a galaxy of magnitude m is detected in the band.

See also the discussion around eq. (7) and fig. 2 in the ALHAMBRA paper by Lopez-Sanjuan et al. (2017).
