Dens256 (bolshoi.dens256)

The table has 603979776 rows, 7 columns.

Description

Density fields for a number of snapshot numbers (see Redshifts-table or check with SELECT DISTINCT snapnum FROM bolshoi.dens256), for 2563 grid cells; less strongly smoothed than for dens256_z0.

Columns

Name Type UCD Unit Description
webid long meta.id

unique id for the entry in the database table, corresponds to the line number in the original file, starting with 0 at first line

ix int pos.cartesian.x

spatial grid index, x-direction; ix= floor(x/nx); multiply/divide by factors of 2 when comparing with a finer/coarser grid

iy int pos.cartesian.y

spatial grid index, y-direction; iy = floor(y/ny)

iz int pos.cartesian.z

spatial grid index, z-direction; iz = floor(z/nz)

phkey int

Peano-Hilbert key; multiply/divide by factors of 8 when comparing with a finer/coarser grid

dens double phys.density
arith.ratio

overdensity, dens = (ρ - ρb)/ρb
ρb = mean background density of matter

snapnum int time.epoch

unique id for the entry in the database table, corresponds to the line number in the original file, starting with 0 at first line
