FOF1 (bolshoip.fof1)

The table has 668996544 rows, 37 columns.

Description

Friends-of-Friends catalogue for all available snapshots, same as FOF-table, but for smaller (relative) linking lengths, levels 1 (linking length 0.085) to 5 (linking length 0.005313). Thus these tables contain substructures of the FOF groups.
