1. The Kuijken-Dubinski Galaxy Modeling Package

We will use the code of Konrad Kuijken and John Dubinski to generate disk-bulge-halo galaxies. The method is described in this paper .

The complete source package (mostly f77) is in the tar file galaxy.tar.gz .

  • Getting the source and unpacking

    Create directory tree  galaxy: gunzip -d -c galaxy.tar.gz | tar xvf -

  • The README file

  • Using the Makefile

    make all

    make galaxy

    • 2. First test of the BULGE

  • We will use the data file bulge.data to run the Aarseth code with it.

  • Visualization with DX

    • 3. First test of the HALO

  • We will use the data file halo.data to run the Aarseth code with it.

  • Visualization with DX

    • 4. First test of the DISK

  • We will use the data file disk.data to run the Aarseth code with it.

  • Visualization with DX

    • 5. First test of the complete GALAXY

  • We will use the data file galaxy.data to run the Aarseth code with it.
