Cosmogical effect for Host DM in calc_redshift

Open Rigel7 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, in calc_redshift, if subtract_host is True, the function just takes self.dm_excess - self.dm_host_est as the new input DM. However, one must consider the cosmological effect in the host galaxy DM (eg. http://doi.org/10.1086/380598, http://arxiv.org/abs/2107.10858). The new input DM should be DM_{excess}-DM_{host}/(1+z). This 1+z factor needs to be carried to the later solving process.
