Project description
SCONCE-SCMS
Spherical and Conic Cosmic Web Finders with the Extended SCMS Algorithms
SCONCE-SCMS (Spherical and CONic Cosmic w Eb finder with the extended SCMS algorithms [1] is a Python library for detecting the cosmic web structures (primarily cosmic filaments and the associated cosmic nodes) from a collection of discrete observations with the extended subspace constrained mean shift (SCMS) algorithms ([2], [5], [6]) on the unit (hyper)sphere (in most cases, the 2D (RA,DEC) celestial sphere), and the directional-linear product space (most commonly, the 3D (RA,DEC,redshift) light cone).
(Notes: RA -- Right Ascension, i.e., the celestial longitude; DEC -- Declination, i.e., the celestial latitude.)
