Welcome to LGalaxies!

This version of the galaxy evolution code LGalaxies is based on the PublicRelease version of Henriques et al. (2015).

Documentation about the original code can be found here:

• http://galformod.mpa-garching.mpg.de/public/LGalaxies/

There one can also find information about additional data required for using the code (e.g. halo tree data or photometric data for filters).

This version differs in three main ways from the PublicRelease version:

• The code has been made easier to read (in most places).
• The code has been optimized for speed (~3 times faster overall).
• Functionality for lightcone outputs has been added.

For a more detailed account of the changes, please read the changes.md file.
