skypy.power_spectrum.growth_function_carroll(redshift, cosmology)

Growth function.

This function returns the growth function as a function of redshift for a given cosmology as approximated by Carroll, Press & Turner (1992), equation 29 in [1].

Parameters:

redshift(nz,) array_like

Array of redshifts at which to evaluate the growth function.

cosmologyastropy.cosmology.Cosmology

Cosmology object providing methods for the evolution history of omega_matter and omega_lambda with redshift.

Returns:

growth(nz,) array_like

The growth function evaluated at the input redshifts for the given cosmology.
