Selected L-Galaxies and binary_c output data (Yates+23)

<p>Dataset to accompany the publication entitled <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.15218"><strong>"The impact of binary stars on the dust and metal evolution of galaxies"</strong></a> by R. M. Yates, D. Hendriks, A. P. Vijayan, R. G. Izzard, P. A. Thomas, and P. Das.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The L-Galaxies files included in this dataset were generated from the MM+binaryC and MM+singleStars versions of L-Galaxies, run in snapshot mode on representative sub-volumes of the Millennium-I and Millennium-II simulations, with the LITE_OUTPUT switch turned on. In detail:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>MM+binaryC version:</strong></i></p><p><strong>SA_MM+binaryC_MRI_z0.00_0-5: </strong>Zip file containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+binaryC version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 0-5 of Millennium-I at redshift 0.00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SA_MM+binaryC_MRI_z0.00-8.22_0-5: </strong>Zip file containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+binaryC version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 0-5 of Millennium-I at nine selected redshifts from 0.00 to 8.22.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SA_MM+binaryC_MRII_z#.##_40-79: </strong>Zip files containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+binaryC version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 40-79 of Millennium-II at redshift #.## = [0.00,1.04,2.07,3.11,3.95,5.03,5.92,6.97,8.22].</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>MM+singleStars version:</strong></i></p><p><strong>SA_MM+singleStars_MRI_z0.00_0-5:</strong> Zip file containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+singleStars version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 0-5 of Millennium-I at redshift 0.00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SA_MM+singleStars_MRI_z0.00-8.22_0-5:</strong> Zip file containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+singleStars version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 0-5 of Millennium-I at nine selected redshifts from 0.00 to 8.22.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SA_MM+singleStars_MRII_z#.##_40-79: </strong>Zip files containing output files (in binary format) for the MM+singleStars version of L-Galaxies in snapshot mode, run on treefiles 40-79 of Millennium-II at redshift #.## = [0.00,1.04,2.07,3.11,3.95,5.03,5.92,6.97,8.22].</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>Other:</strong></i><br><strong>L-Galaxies_and_binaryC_processing:</strong></p><p><strong>a) </strong>A set of simple python scripts to read the L-Galaxies outputs, process them into samples (as python "dictionaries"), and make some plots (including those presented in Yates+23). To use, place the desired output files into the /output folder, and execute main_lgals.py<i>. </i>Switches are provided at the top of main_lgals.py to modify functionality. The relevant data structure for python is also provided (LGalaxy_snapshots_liteOutput.py), as are conversions between snapshot number, redshift, and other properties for Millennium-I and Millennium-II snapshots for reference (Millennium_Planck1_Snapshots_Redshifts.txt and MillenniumII_Planck1_Snapshots_Redshifts.txt). For catalogues containing star formation histories, the corresponding times and widths of each bin are read from Database_SFH_table.fits.</p><p><strong>b)</strong> The binaryC ensemble files used in Yates+23 are included, along with a script to read these ensemble files and generate L-Galaxies yield tables from them (process_binaryc_outputs.py). Switches are provided at the top of process_binaryc_outputs.py to modify functionality.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
