[yt-dev] rockstar halo finder

[Christopher Moody]

Hi Stephen,

You should be able to use the unmodified version of rockstar. Matt's
modifications allow you to add a halo 'field' per se that can compute a
halo quantities that Rockstar doesn't normally compute. I haven't used this
version, and the unmodified Rockstar works fine for me thus far.

However, I don't think we ever added a Rockstar installation option to the
install script, despite the docs text. Does Rockstar without modification
work for you?
