What is code units? How to convert it into kps or mps
Dear all,
vr = halo[i].virial_radius(virial_overdensity=200.0, bins=100)
will return the virial radius of the halo in code units. What is code units? How to convert it into kps or mps? -- Reju Sam John
Hi Reju, Code units are the units that are used within the simulation. If you’re running a cosmological model, then these units are specified via the choice “G = 1”. To convert to something more digestible, I believe you can do: vr/pf.units[“mpc”] or whatever unit you’d like, if not megaparsecs.
