Implements 3D point cloud algorithms for estimation and fitting of shape and density profiles

Project description

Documentation Status PyPI version

The cosmic_shapes project

This repository provides shape analysis tools for cosmological simulations (and beyond). Its features include

  • iterative shell-based shape determination algorithm for high-resolution halos/galaxies
  • iterative ellipsoid-based shape determination algorithm for low-resolution halos/galaxies
  • overall point cloud shape determination, shape profiles determination, velocity dispersion tensor eigenaxes determination
  • wrapper to the Amiga Halo Finder (AHF) via pynbody to identify halos in a cosmological simulation
  • mock point cloud generator
  • mock log-normal universe generator
  • example scripts.

The documentation can be found here.

Contributions are welcome. Please raise a PR. Comments/recommendations/complaints can be sent here.
