Tutorials on analyzing galaxy catalogs¶
By following this tutorial, you will learn how to use Halotools to analyze a mock galaxy catalog. We will proceed by giving a series of increasingly complex examples. Each example is in principle stand-alone, so that you can pick and choose from any of the pages below according to the kind of analysis you are most interested in. In cases where material covered in a previous example is necessary to understand some aspect of one of the more complicated later calculations, a link to the previous example will always be provided.
Basic examples¶
Each of the examples in this section gives a specific demonstration of how to perform a
straightforward calculation on a mock galaxy catalog. By reading through
these examples, you will gain a working knowledge of all the major functions
in the mock_observables
package.
cross-matching galaxy and halo catalogs¶
galaxy properties as a function of halo mass¶
galaxy clustering¶
galaxy group identification¶
velocity statistics¶
void statistics¶
isolation criteria¶
Intermediate examples¶
Each of the examples in this section gives a demonstration of more complex
calculations you can perform with the mock_observables
package.
