Description [src]

Evaluates the marginal photometric redshift distribution.

This distribution represents the probability of observing a galaxy at photometric redshift zp, integrating over all possible true redshifts:

$$P(z_p) = \int_0^\infty P(z) \, \mathrm{Gauss}(z_p|z,\sigma_z(z)) \, \mathrm{d}z$$

where $\sigma_z(z) = \sigma_0 (1 + z)$ and the normalization enforces $z_p > 0$.

The distribution is computed once and cached, so subsequent calls with the same parameters will be very fast. The cache is invalidated when the model state changes.

Parameters

zp

Type: gdouble

Photometric redshift value.

Return value

Type: gdouble

The probability density at photometric redshift zp.
