[yt-users] ANN: Release of Trident--A Synthetic Spectral Generation Code

[Cameron Hummels]

We are pleased to announce the official release of Trident, a universal,
Python-based, open-source tool for post-processing hydrodynamics
simulations to produce synthetic absorption spectra and related data.

Trident's features include:

--Creates absorption-line spectra for any trajectory through a simulated
dataset
--Reproduces the spectral characteristics of common spectrographs like COS
--Operates across the ultraviolet, optical and infrared using customizable
absorption line lists
--Traces simulated physical structures directly to spectral features
--Approximates the presence of ion species absent from the simulation
outputs
--Generates column density maps for any ion
--Provides support for all major astrophysical hydrodynamical codes.
--Fully parallelizable using MPI and MPI4PY
--Built as an extension of the yt analysis code <http://yt-project.org>

For more information about its features, including a video demonstrating
its use, and links to its documentation and source code, please see our
website: http://trident-project.org .

There is an accompanying method paper that was released today on the arXiv
available at: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03935

Please spread word of this announcement to others who might be interested.
