CMBFAST Web Interface

CMBFAST version 4.5.1

This form uses JavaScript to enable certain layout features, and it uses Cascading Style Sheets to control the layout of all the form components. If either of these features are not supported or enabled by your browser, this form will NOT display correctly.



If you want the lensed Cls you will need both.

The HEALpix synfast program is used to generate maps from the resultant spectra.




The random number seed governs the phase of the alm's generated by synfast. The default of zero causes synfast to generate a new see from the system time with each run. Specifying a fixed nonzero value will return fixed phases with successive runs.


The Bessel function files only support up to (3000,6000).


Separate the redshifts with commas (e.g., 0,1,2).
At least one per transfer function should be provided if any are requested (see the above output request).
If more than one transfer function is requested
then the redshifts must specified in decreasing order.
CMBFAST will not support more than nine (9) transfer functions!
