This is a project to measure and model the intrinsic alignments of galaxies in both observations and simulations.
This project requires the following Python packages be installed:
Alignment correlation functions are in development in my personal halotools fork in a dedicated branch. In addition to myself, this branch has contributions by:
- Patricia Larson
- Andrew Hearin
- Simon Samuroff
This propject uses the results of an independent repository, Illustris_Shapes, for simulated galaxy/halo shapes and orientation catalogs.
In addition to the Illustris DMO simulations, this project uses the dark matter only simualtions:
- Bolshoi Planck
Thes halo catalogs for these simulations are available through Halotools, described here.
