pynbody.analysis.theoretical_profiles

pynbody.analysis.theoretical_profiles#

Implements functional forms of known density profiles and code to fit them to simulation data.

At present only the NFW profile is implemented, but the code is designed to be easily extensible to other profiles.

Functions

NFWprofile(*args, **kwargs)

Classes

AbstractBaseProfile()

Represents an analytic profile of a halo, and provides a method to fit the profile to data.

NFWProfile([density_scale_radius, ...])

Represents a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile.
