Analysis code for analyzing Enzo simulations of isolated, idealized (dwarf) galaxies simulated using my fork of the Enzo-dev code (https://bitbucket.org/aemerick/enzo-emerick) following star formation with individual star particles, multiple feedback sources (massive star and AGB star stellar winds, supernovae, photoelectric heating, LW radiation, ionizing radiation, and cosmic rays), and tracing stellar yields from an arbitrary list of individual elemental species.

Code is still a work in progress, but will be used as an analysis pipeline to remotely process simulation dumps to (nearly) all information that would be useful for interpretating results and informing future analysis. Will distill large data sets to more compact HDF5 data sets one could easily offload a cluster and play around with locally to generate plots. This includes generating the very large array of both gas and stellar abundance ratio properties given the ~10-15 possible elemental species one could have in a simulation.

The first test of the above will be to readily compare the star formation and chemodynamic properties of a series of simulations varying the underlying feedback physics in an 1.5 pc resolution simulation of a dwarf galaxy with initial gass mass of around 10^6 - 10^7 solar masses.

These simulations constitute a substantial portion of my thesis work.

IMPORTANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

This code relies extensively on the publically available yt analysis toolkit: http://yt-project.org/

This code is largely inspired by the very well written galaxy analysis code by Nathan Goldbaum (https://bitbucket.org/ngoldbaum/galaxy_analysis). Some portions of my code are almost direct translations of this, modified to fit my specifc needs.
