Hi Barbara, Sorry to hear you’re having trouble at the moment. I have a few other questions. 1) Can you post the entire script? Use http://paste.yt-project.org and send a link. 2) Can you give me a sense of what the mass and temperature of your cluster is? It sounds like it is fairly large. And the radius? 3) What code did the simulation come from? After knowing these, I think we can get somewhere. I have some ideas. Best, John

Hello!

I have written before about trying to implement the xray photon generator. This time I've updated all the libraries, YT, Heasoft... etc.

I'm just trying to generate a photon list for the moment but I'm getting two sorts of errors: 1)

RuntimeError: Number of photons generated for this chunk exceeds photons_per_chunk (1000000000)! Increase photons_per_chunk!

Ok, so I increase the number of photons per chunk and I get: 2) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MemoryError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/barbara/hires_final/photon_trial.py in <module>() 90 cosmo = Cosmology() 91 ---> 92 photons = PhotonList.from_scratch(Roi, redshift, A, exp_time,thermal_model,center="center",cosmology=cosmo) 93 photons.write_h5_file("my_photons.h5") 94

MemoryError:

This is just a trial, so I'm using almost a copy of the code that's on the documentation:

Roi = ds.sphere("center",radius=width_half) apec_model = TableApecModel("/home/barbara/yt-x86_64/atomdb_v2.0.2",0.5,10.0,100,thermal_broad=False,apec_vers="2.0.2") thermal_model = ThermalPhotonModel(apec_model, X_H=0.75,photons_per_chunk=1000000000, Zmet=0.3,method="invert_cdf")

A = 6000. exp_time = 100.0e3 redshift = 0.05 cosmo = Cosmology()

photons = PhotonList.from_scratch(Roi, redshift, A, exp_time,thermal_model,center="center",cosmology=cosmo) photons.write_h5_file("my_photons.h5")

My snapshot information:

Am I just using wrong parameters to try to simulate the Xray emission of this simulated cluster?

Thanks beforehand for the help!
