[yt-users] Trouble with SFR plots of enzo data

Ah, maybe I'm jumping the gun on blaming Enzo. You can do your own
simple tests for the star particle mass like this outside of the star
particle analysis module:

dd = pf.h.all_data()
ct = dd['creation_time']
sel = (ct > 0)
pm = dd['ParticleMassMsun'][sel]
total_pm = pm.sum()

Can you tell me if total_pm makes sense across your datasets?
