Boolean data objects in yt-3
by Brian O'Shea 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi folks, I've stumbled across across a research task that could really use yt's Boolean data object feature, and according to the documentation it is not implemented in yt-3. Have boolean data objects been replaced by something else? I know there are various filtering methods in yt, but what I really need to do is spatial filtering (i.e., data in a sphere with some chunks of the sphere excised). In principle I'd be happy to take a crack at re-implementing it, although I might need some help. Could somebody give me a sense of why it wasn't ported to yt-3 when the changeover was made? Thanks, Brian

Issue #1237: HaloMassFcn units (or coments) inconsistent (yt_analysis/yt)
by spthm 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

New issue 1237: HaloMassFcn units (or coments) inconsistent https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1237/halomassfcn-units-or-comen… spthm: Disclaimer: I'm not particularly experienced in HMFs. The below may not actually be a bug (just confusing/incorrect comments); if it is, I imagine it relates to issue #1228. It should possibly be a comment on that issue, but I can't confirm the two are related. For reference, I'm going to link to the current stable yt, 3.2.3. Based on comments in [`halo_mass_function.py`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py), I do not believe the stated output units are correct. [`halo_mass_function.py:403`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py-403) multiplies `rho_crit_g_cm3_h2` by `hubble0**2`, resulting in units of `Msolar/Mpc^3` for `rho0` _if the comment at [`physical_ratios.py:103`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/utilities/physical_ratios.py?at=yt&fileviewer=file-view-default#physical_ratios.py-103) is to be believed_. But line 402 directly above states `rho0 in units of h^2 Msolar/Mpc^3`. This error carries through to line [`halo_mass_function.py:432`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py-432). It is claimed that `dndM_dM_analytic` has units of `h^3`, but it is actually `h`. Finally, at [`halo_mass_function.py:436`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py-436) we multiply through by `h^3`, resulting units of `h^-2` for `dndM_dM_analytic` and `n_cumulative_analytic` (while it is claimed that all `h` are cancelled out). Note that [`halo_mass_function.py:368`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py-368) has a similar issue, in that `h^2` units are claimed, but `rho0` has no `h` dependence. The proceeding usage of `rho0` at [`halo_mass_function.py:390`](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/bdea84d950999973d7b80cba34acc4c70b62a925/yt/analysis_modules/halo_mass_function/halo_mass_function.py?at=stable&fileviewer=file-view-default#halo_mass_function.py-390) implies that `rho0` indeed should have units `h^2` to achieve a `h^-1` for `thisradius`. I think this has a non-trivial impact on the values in `sigmaarray`, but I gave up trying to track it. The masses do not appear to be affected, but both analytic output arrays seem to have erroneous factors of `h`, and I believe the sigma values are also computed with incorrect `R` values. Since I gave up trying to track how incorrect `R` impacts `sigma`, I don't know if this all agrees with the behaviour described by @ioodderskov in #1228. All that said, if I make the obvious change of _not_ multiplying `rho` by `hubble0**2`, the analytic fits do a much worse job of fitting haloes in some of my Gadget-2 snapshots, whereas before agreement with P-S was very good. But I have no idea if this is a fluke, and the simulations are faulty, or whether all of the above is a misunderstanding on my part. The multiplication by `hubble0**2` was introduced in ab0d4e0.

Some yt related services are unavailable
by Kacper Kowalik 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi all, This morning around 7am fido - our server located @ NCSA - was compromised and used in DDoS attack on some random ip in China. As soon as the secops noticed unusual behaviour they shut it down. Fido serves as reverse proxy for various services related to yt. As long as it's down anything that we were hosting at *.hub.yt and *.use.yt won't be available. This also affects: blog.yt-project.org and tests.yt-project.org. At this time I don't have any ETA on when the services will be brought back to life. I'll notify you as soon as there's any progress. I'm sorry for all the inconvenience this situation creates. Kacper

Pretty visuals?
by Nathan Goldbaum 18 Jun '16

Hi all, Does anyone have any pretty visuals (be it images, plots, or movies) that they wouldn't mind me showing off at a yt tutorial? Of course you will be duly credited and praised for your awesome visuals :) I'll be giving the tutorial at McMaster this weekend as part of a python for astronomers workshop before the Great Lakes Cosmology workshop. Thanks! -Nathan

Issue #1232: Absorption Spectrum Error (Gizmo file type)? (yt_analysis/yt)
by Anonymous 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

New issue 1232: Absorption Spectrum Error (Gizmo file type)? https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1232/absorption-spectrum-error-… Anonymous: I tried using the cookbook code for creating an absorption spectrum (http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/cookbook/cosmological_analysis.html#creating…) for a Gizmo type cosmological simulation file. I created a light ray successfully, create and absorption spectrum via sp = AbsorptionSpectrum(900.0, 1400.0, 50000), and add a HI line to the spectrum, following the cookbook. But whenever I get to the line: wavelength, flux = sp.make_spectrum('lightray.h5', output_file='spectrum.h5', line_list_file='lines.txt', use_peculiar_velocity=True) I get the following error: absorption_spectrum.pyc in _add_lines_to_spectrum(self, field_data, use_peculiar_velocity, output_absorbers_file, subgrid_resolution, observing_redshift, njobs): 444 # edges (ie the wings), then widen the wavelength 445 # window and repeat process. --> 446 if (vtau[0] < min_tau and vtau[-1] < min_tau): 447 break 448 window_width_in_bins *= 2 IndexError: index 0 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 0 I've looked at the source code but I can't figure out what's causing the problem. If I do not try to add any lines to my absorption spectrum at all, then it doesn't error. But since I'm following the cookbook code, I'm not sure what could be going wrong... Help? Thanks, Kyle Stewart
