Expand Up @@ -453,3 +453,13 @@ Late-time particle samples (e.g. from halo catalogs) can be connected to their
location in the ICs via the PID. Pass ``unpack_bits="lagr_pos"`` or ``unpack_bits="lagr_idx"``
to the :doc:`CompaSOHaloCatalog constructor <abacusutils:compaso>`, or to the ``load`` parameter
of :doc:`read_asdf <abacusutils:abacusnbody.data>`.

Fixed-and-paired ICs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``fixedbase`` simulations use fixed-amplitude initial conditions, with ``ph098`` the
inverse of ``ph099``. This inversion was implemented with a flag to Abacus that flipped
the Zel'dovich displacements as they were ingested; the actual IC files were the same for
``ph098`` and ``ph099``. As a consequence, the IC data products are identical for ``ph098``
and ``ph099``, even though one might expect them to be inverted. We recommend users of
``ph098`` invert the density field and displacements themselves, which in both cases is
as simple as multiplying the fields by :math:`-1`.
