halo miscentering code

[jesford]

Hi @msimet,
I came across this repository, and thought you might be interested to see my solution to the cluster miscentering problem. I've released a pure Python package for calculating offset NFW halo profiles that you can install using pip. I would be interested to hear if you find it interesting or useful.
The repository is: https://github.com/jesford/cluster-lensing
and the documentation is here: http://jesford.github.io/cluster-lensing/
Cheers!

Ah, cool! I'll take a look at it.

I should say the purpose of this is not just to do the miscentering calculation--the code (which exists in a kind of kludgy project-specific form that I'm cleaning up for public use) generates internal interpolation tables so profiles can be calculated very quickly. I was doing a project that required me to generate order 1 billion profiles for some MCMC chains, so doing the full convolution each time was totally impossible. So at least I'm not just duplicating work you've already done!

That sounds extremely useful! I would love to check that out when you make it public!
