11 months ago Hi @sibirrer ! Yes, we have been intending to merge the halos and power spectrum modules as the next task for SkyPy v0.6, we have just been in a dormancy period because of other time commitments. We should get on with this now though!
Description
The halos module is only accessible in a specific branch. We are developing a strong lensing simulation pipeline for LSST (and beyond), currently mostly developed in the gg_lensing branch: https://github.com/LSST-strong-lensing/sim-pipeline/tree/gg-lensing We (meaning @trivialTZ) are now also trying to implement a halo rendering for line-of-sight structure (and potentially even more), using the SkyPy halo module as well as effectively the tools in SkyPy used for galaxies but now to render a light cone for haloes. The pull request using and implementing these additional features is presented here https://github.com/sibirrer/sim-pipeline/pull/7
It's hard to develop another package while linking to a specific branch of SkyPy. I would like to see the halo module merged to main and made a release version. We are also happy to put some of these halo rendering parts into the SkyPy halo module in the intermediate and long term.
Thank you very much! Simon with @trivialTZ
