SALSA: Python Pacakge using Trident to Extract Absorbers from Simulations

[Boyd Brendan]

Hi all,

A python package I wrote called SALSA might be of interest to some of you. It is built off of Trident with the goal of extracting "absorbers" from the simulation. It can do this two separate ways, either by fitting the spectra generated by Trident using the Spectacle package or by looking at the "LightRay" and cell level data to find contiguous groups of cells that meaningfully contribute to the final spectra. A JOSS paper has been published and is a good intro to some of the use-cases and background for the package. The package is pip installable and more detailed guidelines and tutorials can be found on the documentation page. Although this has only had extensive use on ENZO data, it should work on any simulation data that Trident can analyze.

Brendan,

Thank you for the email advertising this to the broad Trident community, and more importantly, thank you for creating SALSA!  I am looking forward to using it, as it seems like a great tool for extending Trident-based analysis of the CGM.
