Hi Britton, Thank you for your reply. Adding the keyword "min_halo_size" changed the parameter in my rockstar config file, but when I redid the analysis, the halo sizes were still larger than expected. With a Particle mass of 1.31418e+05 Msun/h and MIN_HALO_OUTPUT_SIZE = 10, I was expecting to get halos on the order of 1e7 Msun/h. The smallest halos I get now are 1.2e8 Msun/h. Is that reasonable to expect and if so, what do I need to change to see those smaller halos? Thanks, Carla Am Di., 9. März 2021 um 17:08 Uhr schrieb Britton Smith < brittonsmith@gmail.com>:
Hi Carla,
It looks like RockstarHaloFinder accepts a keyword called "min_halo_size" which sets the minimum particle number for halos. The RockstarHaloFinder code writes its own config file, which is then passed to rockstar itself, so that's why modifying that file by hand doesn't do anything.

Dear yt and rockstar users,
I recently installed the newest version of rockstar-galaxies as I had been using a much older version. Although the output reports a particle mass of 1.31418e+05 Msun/h, I don't see any halos smaller than 1e+08 Msun/h. I was expecting to get the minimum masses an order of magnitude lower.
I see in the config includes MIN_HALO_OUTPUT_SIZE = 25, set as a default. I tried to change this parameter to 10 and restart from the beginning, but I run rockstar within yt with RockstarHaloFinder ( yt.extensions.astro_analysis.halo_finding.rockstar.api), but my config file was overwritten by the defaults. Is this even the right approach? If so, how do I restart rockstar (more detailed than just rh.run(restart=True), please) with customized parameters within yt's RockstarHaloFinder?
