Notes. Intrinsic galaxy alignment contributions are given by the one-parameter (A1) non-linear alignment model, non-linear structure growth is described by the one-parameter (Abary) halo model HMCode with baryonic contributions (Mead et al. 2015, 2021), galaxy biases bg are linear and deterministic, and scalar shifts in the mean redshift δzi are employed for recalibration of photometric redshift distributions. Priors are flat except for δzi, where Gaussian priors are estimated as described in Sect. 3.1.1. Central values (for non-δzi parameters) are taken as the best-fit values from Asgari et al. (2021) (their Table A.2, Col. 3) except in the case of Abary, which we reduce slightly in order to introduce some baryonic contributions into the fiducial data-vectors. Whilst Asgari et al. (2021) sampled directly over the S8 parameter, it is more convenient for our implementation of CosmoPower (Spurio Mancini et al. 2022) to sample over As. We convert the (derived) best-fit As from Asgari et al. (2021) into a fiducial centre for ln(1010As), and assume a flat prior on ln(1010As) corresponding to 0.5 < 109As < 5.0 (Secco et al. 2022). Other flat priors are taken from Asgari et al. (2021), or from Mandelbaum et al. (2018) in the case of the galaxy bias, where the latter also provides the functional form for the galaxy bias (Eq. (2.18)). The derived, fiducial S8 value is given in the last row, and is slightly larger than that found by Asgari et al. (2021) due to our modification of the fiducial Abary. Notice that we also adopt the best-fit for h as in Asgari et al. (2021), and while this is at the boundary of our prior, it does not affect our conclusions given that h is unconstrained.
