Hi Barbara, I guess what I was really curious about were the average properties of the cluster—M200, r200, average temperature within r200. I wanted to know how big and luminous of an object we were dealing with. For a start, you can probably try by decreasing the effective area A by a factor of 3 or so, so maybe 2000. 6000 is simply too much, I should probably change that in the example. For most X-ray telescopes, the effective area of the instrument is about a factor of 10 less than this, so you should be ok. If we still have a problem then, we’ll look at other options. By how much did you increase photons_per_chunk, by the way? Best, John

Hello John! Thanks for your fast answer

1) Ok, here is the script I'm using (sorry for the mess):

2) It is indeed a big cosmological simulation. so temperatures range between 10^4 - 10^8

3) It was done in FLASH 4 (but I'm switching to ENZO for future simulations)

Let's hope is doable! thanks for your help!
