[yt-users] ParticleMassMsun

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Stephen,

ParticleMass (and thus ParticleMassMsun) is calculated by taking the
particle[_]mass field and multiplying by the conversion for cm^3 for
the volume of the cells in which the particles reside, and then
multiplying by the conversion to proper density.  If it were using
"cmh" it should give back Msun/h.  So, it should be Msun, not Msun/h.
