Basic models of intrinsic alignments assume a specific simple evolution with redshift. This module takes an existing model of the IA power spectra and modifies them by giving them additional evolution in z.

Specifically, it takes P_II and P_GI (e.g. as calculated by the la_model module) and modifies them to:

P_II(k,z) -> (1+z)^alpha P_II(k,z) P_GI(k,z) -> (1+z)^alpha P_GI(k,z)

Assumptions

  • Modify the intrinsic alignment power spectra to have a power-law dependence in (1+z)
