Processing Tipsy format outputs
A new branch of SimSpin has been set up to process input Tipsy binary files. While this is a work-in-progress that has not been merged into the main repo yet, this file documents some of the processes being developed.
Using SimSpin v2.1.1
A walk-through of the functions and processes within the SimSpin package. This example will show you how to generate an IFS data cube observation of a galaxy particle simulation.
SimSpin v.2.0.4 Profile
Showing a code profile for the build_datacube() function for an EAGLE galaxy for ADACS Semester 2022-A Merit Allocation Program.
SimSpin - Kinematic fitting using pPXF
A walk-through to demonstrate how the mock IFS spectral data cubes produced using SimSpin v2.0.0 can be analysed using observational software, pPXF.
profvis - Flame Graph for SimSpin v2.0.0
Showing an profile for the build_datacube() function in SimSpin v2.0.0 to demonstrate the bottleneck that occurs in the interpolation of the spectra.
Measuring observable galaxy kinematics
Describing the various applications of the "find_lambda()" function in the SimSpin package.
Constructing kinematic data cubes
Describing the various applications of the "build_datacube()" function in the SimSpin package.
Kinematic analysis of simulation data
Describing the various applications of the "sim_analysis()" function in the SimSpin package.
A numerical "twist" on the observable spin parameter
A more detailed document to accompany the poster presented at the IAU FM6 2018. This is a summary of the conclusions given in the paper of the same name.
Using SimSpin
A worked example that explains how to use the SimSpin package to make a mock IFU data cube of a galaxy simulation.
