About
This is a repository for the new parallelized version of 2DFFT, a code that allows the user to isolate and measure the spiral arm pitch angle of galaxies.
This is a repository for the new parallelized version of 2DFFT, a code that allows the user to isolate and measure the spiral arm pitch angle of galaxies.
P2DFFT has simplified the user input and depending on the number of cores available, runs significantly faster than the older serial version, 2DFFT. Further enhancements include:
