Documentation on mangle is at

To get started, try creating the mask for an example slice of the SDSS survey:
|
||
|
|
cd <mangle_directory>/masks/sdss
|
||
|
|
and follow the README,
|
||
|
|
or follow the QuickStart section on the website.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Typing a command with no arguments will give you a brief summary of its usage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Typing a command with the -d switch will tell you what the defaults are.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mathematical algorithms are described by
|
||
|
|
Hamilton A J S & Tegmark M (2004)
|
||
|
|
"A scheme to deal accurately and efficiently with complex angular masks
|
||
|
|
in galaxy surveys", MNRAS, 349, 115-128
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
Swanson M E C, Tegmark M, Hamilton A J S, and Hill J C (2008)
|
||

"Methods for rapidly processing angular masks of next-generation galaxy
|
||
|
|
surveys", MNRAS, 387, 1391-1402.

The intention is that the probability of the mangle software failing,
|
||
|
|
once successfully compiled, should be comparable to the probability
|
||
|
|
of a piece of spacejunk falling on your head (let's hope it ain't true).
|
||
|
|
If it fails, please check out Troubleshooting at
