snapstat - compute various statistics of an N-body snapshot 
snapstat
in=snapshot_file  [parameters=values...] 
snapstat provides various
statistics of an N-body snapshot, such as moments in phase space, various
radii (such as mass-fraction radii, virial radius and core radius) and generalized
surface density, total energetics. For particles with binding energy larger
than a specifief amount  a shape analysis is done. 
The following
parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given: 
- in=in_file
- Input data are read from in_file, which must be  in standard SnapShot(5)
format [No default]. 
- times=range 
- Range of times to do the analysis on. E.g.
"0:10,12,13" [default: all]. 
- exact=t|f 
- 
  
- minradfrac=value\fP 
- Fudge factor,
smaller than but not too close to 1, for core-radius determination. A better
algorithm is expected in some future version [default: 0.1]. 
- all=t|f 
- This
overrides all other subsequent logicals (exept exact) who determine what
parameters to determine for the system  [default: false]. 
- pot=t|f 
- Logical
if to determine energetics (potential en kinetic) of system.  This is a
time consuming (N*N) part [default: false]. 
- eps=value 
- Value of the softening
length for potential energy calculation [default: 0.025]. 
- r_h=t|f 
- Logical
if to determine the fractional mass radii of the system. Currently implemented
it will return radii at which the mass fraction is 10%..90% in steps of 10%
[default: false]. 
- r_v=t|f 
- Logical if to determine the virial radius of the
system. This is a time consuming (N*N) part [default: false]. 
- r_c=t|f 
- Logical
if to determine the core radius of the system [default: false]. 
- rms=t|f 
- Logical
if to determine the full rms velocity dispersion of the system [default:
 false]. 
- ecutoff=value 
- Value of the energy above which the particles will
be discarded from a shape analysis. [default: 0.0, i.e. only  verbose=t|f Logical
if you need a lot of explanatory text around your numbers. The false option
is often used to make tables for further plotting using plotting packages
as Mongo(1)
 [default: false] 
snapkinem(1NEMO)
,snapshot(5NEMO)
 
The
algorithm to determine the core radius is noisy.
Shape analysis is a straight
moment analysis, and hence perhaps too heavily weighted for particles at
large radii. 
Keyword verbose is not fully implemented yet in V1.3.
