[yt-users] Calculating center of mass of a halo in yt 3.3.3

[Britton Smith]

Hi Reju,

When you create a halo catalog in the above manner, the field will be
called "particle_position".  This dataset will also be saved to disk after
the call to hc.create(), so you can use yt.load to reload the new catalog
without having to remake it.
