lenstronomy.LensModel.QuadOptimizer.multi_plane_fast module

class MultiplaneFast(x_image, y_image, z_lens, z_source, lens_model_list, redshift_list, astropy_instance, param_class, foreground_rays, tol_source=1e-05, numerical_alpha_class=None)

Bases: object

This class accelerates ray tracing computations in multi plane lensing for quadruple image lenses by only computing the deflection from objects in front of the main deflector at z_lens one time.

The first ray tracing computation through the foreground is saved and re-used, but it will always have the same shape as the initial x_image, y_image arrays.

ray_shooting_fast(args_lens)

Performs a ray tracing computation through observed coordinates on the sky (self._x_image, self._y_image) to the source plane, returning the final coordinates of each ray on the source plane.

Parameters:

Particle swarm optimizer is modified from the CosmoHammer particle swarm routine with different convergence criteria implemented.

Parameters:

• x_image – x_image to fit (should be length 4)

• y_image – y_image to fit (should be length 4)

• lens_model_list – list of lens models for the system

• redshift_list – list of lens redshifts for the system

• z_lens – the main deflector redshift, the lens models being optimizer must be at this redshift

• z_source – the source redshift

• parameter_class – an instance of ParamClass (see documentation in QuadOptimizer.param_manager)

• astropy_instance – an instance of astropy to pass to the lens model

• numerical_alpha_class – a class to compute numerical deflection angles to pass to the lens model

• particle_swarm – bool, whether or not to use a PSO fit first

• re_optimize – bool, if True the initial spread of particles will be very tight

• re_optimize_scale – float, controls how tight the initial spread of particles is

• pso_convergence_mean – when to terminate the PSO fit

• foreground_rays – (optional) can pass in pre-computed foreground light rays from a previous fit so as to not waste time recomputing them

• tol_source – sigma in the source plane chi^2

• tol_simplex_func – tolerance for the downhill simplex optimization

• simplex_n_iterations – number of iterations per dimension for the downhill simplex optimization

optimize(n_particles=50, n_iterations=250, verbose=False, threadCount=1)

Parameters:

• n_particles – number of PSO particles, will be ignored if self._particle_swarm is False

• n_iterations – number of PSO iterations, will be ignored if self._particle_swarm is False

• verbose – whether to print stuff

• threadCount – integer; number of threads in multi-threading mode

Returns:

keyword arguments that map (x_image, y_image) to the same source coordinate (source_x, source_y)

lenstronomy.LensModel.QuadOptimizer.param_manager module

class PowerLawParamManager(kwargs_lens_init)

Bases: object

Base class for handling the translation between key word arguments and parameter arrays for EPL mass models.

This class is intended for use in modeling galaxy-scale lenses

__init__(kwargs_lens_init)

Parameters:

kwargs_lens_init – the initial kwargs_lens before optimizing

param_chi_square_penalty(args)

property to_vary_index

The number of lens models being varied in this routine. This is set to 2 because the first three lens models are EPL and SHEAR, and their parameters are being optimized.

The kwargs_list is split at to to_vary_index with indicies < to_vary_index accessed in this class, and lens models with indicies > to_vary_index kept fixed.

Note that this requires a specific ordering of lens_model_list :return:

bounds(re_optimize, scale=1.0)

Sets the low/high parameter bounds for the particle swarm optimization.

NOTE: The low/high values specified here are intended for galaxy-scale lenses. If you want to use this for a different size system you should create a new ParamClass with different settings

Parameters:

• re_optimize – keep a narrow window around each parameter

• scale – scales the size of the uncertainty window

Returns:

static kwargs_to_args(kwargs)

Parameters:

kwargs – keyword arguments corresponding to the lens model parameters being optimized

Returns:

array of lens model parameters

class PowerLawFixedShear(kwargs_lens_init, shear_strength)
