Hi all, I'd like to make a plot of subsets of data from the MICE Grand Challenge simulation, specifically galaxy coordinates. I'm working with a student and neither of us are expert n-body folks/cosmologists so we're just flailing around. :) I realize that SPLASH is more geared for dark matter distributions where the information might be encoded differently, so maybe this isn't the right tool?
We've downloaded a few million galaxy coordinates (RA, DEC, and z if necessary) and haven't found a good way to plot them to see the density and the filamentary structure. Some Google-fu led me to SPLASH only just last night, so it might be that SPLASH is not the right plotting program. If not, feel free to send me on my way! :) I can read in a two-column text file (RA and DEC) of the galaxy coordinates with splash splash data.dat And I get a black-and-white scatter plot. Is there now some simple way (command-line options or otherwise?) that I can plot this as a countour (or similar) plot? If this has been answered already in this forum, feel free to point me to that thread. Thanks for any help you can provide!
