Particle Trace of a Milky Way Mass Galaxy from the EAGLE simulations

This repository contains .npy files, loaded like:

with open('EAGLE_MW_trace_coords.npy', 'rb') as f:
    coordinates = np.load(f)
    dmcoordinates = np.load(f)

with open('EAGLE_MW_trace_redshifts.npy', 'rb') as f:
    redshifts = np.load(f)

which contain the locations of particles (gas, stars and dark matter) which are within 30pkpc of the centre of a Milky Way stellar mass galaxy from the EAGLE suite of simulations. This dataset was primarily produced to look at the accretion of matter onto galaxies like the Milky Way, studying how they assemble over time, which makes for some quite pretty visualisations (explored in this repository).

the file 'EAGLE_MW_trace_coords_downsampled_10.npy' contains the same data but for a downsampled set of particles (by a factor of 10).
