The Distribution and Origin of Metals in the Auriga Simulations

Code written for an ongoing analysis of the distribution of metals in the galaxies from the Auriga project.

Description

This repository is organized as follows:

• The auriga/ directory contains all the code related to reading and analyzing the results of the simulations. The main script is auriga/snapshot.py, that has the principal methods used in the calculation of properties of interest.
• The docs/ directory contains all the documentation of the project.
  • The Data.md file has a description of the files in the results/ directory.
  • The Pipeline.md file describes the order in which we perform the analysis of the simulations.
  • The Settings.md file describes the variable of the class Settings defined in auriga/settings.py. This file acts as the configuration file and contains all the standard values for quantities of interest in out analysis.
  • The Analysis.md contains a paper-like description of the analysis and results.
• The images/ directory contains important plots.
• The results/ directory contains files (mostly csv files) with results. It contains one folder for each simulation, named as explained below.
• The scripts/ directory contains notebooks and other scripts.
• The tests/ directory contains test written for different sections of the code.

Naming Convention

Throughout this repostiry, we name complete simulations as AUXX_YY_LZ, where XX is the number of simulation, YY indicates if the simulation is the original (OR) or the rerun version (RE) that includes tracer particles, and Z is the resolution number (typically 4).

So, for example, the original version of galaxy Au17 in the resolution 4 level is labelled as AU17_OR_L4.

For individual snapshots, we extend the previous convention to AUXX_YY_LZ_SNNN, where NNN is the snapshot number. For example, snapshot 112 of galaxy Au5 in the rerun version and resolution level 4 is labelled as AU5_RE_L4_S112.
