yt-project/yt_astro_analysis: yt_astro_analysis-1.1.0

yt_astro_analysis version 1.1 is released!

yt_astro_analysis is an extension of yt for astrophysical analysis. This is the first stable release of yt_astro_analysis to be compatible with yt version 4.0 and later.

New Features

• The HaloCatalog has been significantly refactored (https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/58, https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/62) with the following additional improvements:
  • the interface to the Rockstar halo finder is now compatible with the latest version of Rockstar Galaxies https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/55
  • all halo finders now support being run with time-series of datasets
  • halo particle ids now savable with FoF and HOP halo finders https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/52
  • looping over halos is done with io chunks instead of ds.all_data for a significant speedup and reduction in memory
  • Allow more flexibility for specifying rockstar particle mass https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/84
  • Add restart option for rockstar https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/82
  • Adding an outer_radius parameter to the iterative COM callback https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/34
• Remove the sunyaev_zeldovich analysis module. This is now ytsz. https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/79
• Drop support for python 3.6 https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/100, https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/101
