Description
Reads astrophysical N-body data output by the Gadget code (versions 1/2/3/4, see https://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget4). Binary and HDF5 formats can be read.
Usage
1
readgadget(file, type = "auto")
Arguments
file
filename of file to load
type
character specifying the data format. Must be either of: bin for binary format, hdf for HDF5 format or auto to automatically determine the format from file extension.
Value
Returns a list containing the particle data, structured very similarly to the HDF5 format, even for binary files. When reading a binary file, some of the entries in the header are duplicated for compatibility between old (binary) and new (HDF5) parameter names: e.g. NumPart_ThisFile=Npart, NumPart_Total=Nall, MassTable=Massarr (for more, see Table 4 of https://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget/users-guide.pdf).
