Implements various ellipsoidal shape identification algorithms for 3D particle data
Project description
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.
