cosmological simulations. It aims to provide a simple and intuitive
interface for exploring data within your outputs. It starts by
identifying objects (halos and galaxies), calculates a number of
properties for each individual object, and finally links objects to
each other via simple relationships. The resulting output is a
portable ``HDF5`` file that can be read in and explored without the
original simulation binary.
properties for each individual object, and finally links objects
to each other via simple relationships. It can also do photometry
for each galaxy or halo using python-FSPS, with extinction calculated
to each star particle based on the line-of-sight dust or metal
column density. The resulting output is a portable ``HDF5`` file
that can be read in and explored without the original simulation
binary.

``CAESAR`` builds upon the `yt <http://yt-project.org>`_ project,
which provides support for a number of `simulation codes
