A unified toolkit for extracting cosmic signals from noisy sphere data

Giacomo Galloni, Luca Pagano

May 20, 2026

CosmoForge unifies power spectrum estimation and likelihood analysis—the two main ways cosmologists squeeze information from CMB maps—into a single Python toolkit. The framework intelligently switches between harmonic and pixel-space calculations depending on which is cheaper for a given problem, and includes algorithmic tricks that cut computational cost to O(ℓ_max^4). It reproduces Planck's official Fortran results exactly, works with arbitrary noise patterns, and scales via MPI parallelization.
