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

[Munier Azzam Salem]

Hey Guys,

     Matt -- It seems particle type is being printed by enzo for these
runs, (and it is consistently set to 2 or "NormalStar"). My guess is the
SFR routines aren't using this.

     Christine -- I think you may be right about the corruption of the
particle time, since the two curves that go back to the start of the run
diverge over time. I'll report back if any developments happen.
