Isolated disk galaxy initializer

Python module to create initial conditions for an isolated disk galaxy simulation:

• Density and rotation curve of a gaseous disk in hydrostatic equilibrium are computed using the potential method of Wang et al., MNRAS 407 (2010).
• The computation of particle initial conditions for a dark matter halo with NFW or Hernquist density profile is based on the method of Drakos et al., MNRAS 468 (2017).

Installation

Copy halo.py (base class) and gasdisk.py (subclass) to your work directory and import the module:

import gasdisk
