HEALPix map shell redshiftsΒΆ

The HEALPix maps are constructed in a series of concentric shells around each observer. HEALPix maps are only output to a maximum redshift, which depends on the simulation box size.

Each shell is defined by a minimum and maximum redshift, as shown below. All simulations use the same redshift shells except that shells beyond the maximum redshift are omitted.

Note

Not all of the FLAMINGO simulations use the same cosmological parameters, so the relation between redshift and comoving distance varies. If you need to translate between redshift, distance and time in the cosmology of a specific simulation, we recommend using swiftsimio.
