radial_profiles.nfw_scale_density(conc, z=0.0, delta=200.0, cosmo=None)[source]#

Compute a scale density parameter for an NFW profile [NaFrW90] given a concentration parameter, and optionally a redshift, overdensity, and cosmology.

Parameters:
  • conc (float) – The concentration parameter for the halo, which should correspond the selected overdensity (which has a default of 200).

  • z (float, optional) – The redshift of the halo formation. Default: 0.0

  • delta (float, optional) – The overdensity parameter for which the concentration is defined. Default: 200.0

  • cosmo (yt Cosmology object) – The cosmology to be used when computing the critical density. If not supplied, a default one from yt will be used.

Returns:

The corresponding radial profile object.

Return type:

RadialProfile
