Images from the simulation

Column density image at time  = 122 Myrs after the start of the simulation. Scale is logarithmic, running from 10-3.2 - 103.4 Msolar pc-2.

Raw Data

Root grid data at time = 122 Myrs. Resolution (minimum cell size) 250 pc --> [HERE].
Data is written in HDF4 (Hierarchical Data Format, version 4). A simple IDL script that reads the HDF file into an array is given HERE. To  read in the density, run:

IDL> read_hdf4, 'GT_BTAccel_128AMR4_IsoFluid_2SG_0122_extract0000',1

and to output to an ascii file:

IDL> read_hdf4, 'GT_BTAccel_128AMR4_IsoFluid_2SG_0122_extract0000', 1, /toascii

For internal energy, replace 1 by 2. For velocity, replace 1 with 3, 4 or 5 for x, y and z components.
