cooltools - Practical Tools for Scientific Computations and Visualizations

Collection of routines for efficient scientific computations in physics and astrophysics. These routines include utility functions, numerical computation tools, as well as visualisation tools. They can be used, for example, for generating random numbers from spherical and custom distributions, information and entropy analysis, special Fourier transforms, two-point correlation estimation (e.g. as in Landy & Szalay (1993) <doi:10.1086/172900>), binning & gridding of point sets, 2D interpolation, Monte Carlo integration, vector arithmetic and coordinate transformations. Also included is a non-exhaustive list of important constants and cosmological conversion functions. The graphics routines can be used to produce and export publication-ready scientific plots and movies, e.g. as used in Obreschkow et al. (2020, MNRAS Vol 493, Issue 3, Pages 4551–4569). These routines include special color scales, projection functions, and bitmap handling routines.

rglplus - Extension of the 'rgl' 3D Visualization Package

Provides 3D plotting routines that facilitate the use of the 'rgl' package and extend its functionality. For example, the routines allow the user to directly control the camera position & orientation, as well as to generate 3D movies with a moving observer.

nbody - Gravitational N-Body Simulation

Run simple direct gravitational N-body simulations. The package can access different external N-body simulators (e.g. GADGET-4 by Springel et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2010.03567>), but also has a simple built-in simulator. This default simulator uses a variable block time step and lets the user choose between a range of integrators, including 4th and 6th order integrators for high-accuracy simulations. Basic top-hat smoothing is available as an option. The code also allows the definition of background particles that are fixed or in uniform motion, not subject to acceleration by other particles.
