CoReCon: open Collection of Reionization Constraints¶
CoReCon is an open collection of constraints on various physical quantities linked to the Epoch of Reionization (EoR).
It is built to be easily complemented by contribution from the scientific community, thanks to a simple data form that supports two different ways of input data.
CoReCon takes care of loading and interpreting the data, and presenting them in an organic and ready-to-use way. It also implement simple slicing capabilities, which allow to perform simple data filtering.
Using CoReCon¶
Installation¶
CoReCon is still in the beta-testing phase. If you want to try it out, it can be installed as a python module, using:
pip install corecon

Adding your constraint¶
CoReCon has been developed with in mind the contribution from the community. In order to add a constraint to the available one, we provide an empty Data Entry Template.
In order to make your new constraint available to the community, you can submit a pull request to the CoReCon repository or simply send it via email to the code author.
