| Description: | An IDL code for studying BAO. |
| Notes: | Contains additional C++ routines. |
BAOlab is related to the study of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) using the 2-point correlation function. It enables to perform different tasks, namely BAO detection and BAO parameter constraints. The main novelty of this approach is that it enables to obtain a model-dependent covariance matrix which can change the results both for BAO detection and for parameter constraints.
Software: BAOlab Version 1.0
