Description

This repository contains .npy files, loaded like:

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

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

which contain the locations of particles 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.
