GRAVLENS WORKING DIRECTORY

NOTE: This page features versions of gravlens that are in development, versions that I want to make available to some users but that have not been prepared for general release. (In many cases, the hold-up is just missing documentation.)

Click here for the officially released software.

Version Date Architecture Manual Comments
1.99i 24 March 2008 darwin linux  
1.99h 17 January 2008 darwin linux
  For Rachel Mandelbaum.
1.99g 24 October 2007 darwin linux
solaris
  Added power law clumps.
1.99f 1 October 2007 darwin linux
solaris
  Added extraflux variable. This is the upper limit on the flux of extra images. If extraflux=0 the code behaves as before: extra images are forbidden, and the chisq is set to a large value. If extraflux>0, the flux chisq gains terms of the form (F/extraflux)^2 where F is the flux of each extra model image. Also added ranlens1 command. Finally, lensmodel now writes source redshift to output files.
1.99e 15 August 2007 darwin linux
  For Rachel Mandelbaum.
1.99a 29 March 2007 darwin linux
solaris
  For lens modeling school in Valencia. Click here for the new tutorial.
1.08c 18 August 2006 darwin linux
solaris
  Added fitcrit and filetypes commands. Began to add error checking to make sure variables are entered correctly (i.e., integer values for integer variables; values within appropriate bounds). If you find cases where error checking should be added, please let me know!

Also added ability to specify multiple source redshifts. The source redshift should appear in the data file right next to the number of images; see help for data/data2 for more information. If you want to use multiple source redshifts, you must specify zlens and the cosmology before the data/data2 command.

I have not done thorough tests of the multiple source redshift functionality. I would appreciate it if you try this feature and let me know how it works!

I changed the default cosmology to omega=0.3, lambda=0.7, and h=0.7.
1.08b 8 July 2006 darwin linux
solaris
  Added makekapmap and mock3 commands, and srcsign variable. Changed checkparity so it is no longer automatically set to zero when using the source plane chisq.
1.08a 15 May 2006 darwin linux
solaris
  For Judd Bowman.
1.08 10 May 2006 solaris
darwin linux
  Corrected a bug in the handling of H0 priors. Added spider command. Added pbounds command. Modified pmatch and plimits to make it easy to turn individual contraints off. Increased maximum allowed array size in kap2lens.
