Galaxy simulation

Usage

Generating visuals galaxies

# Spiral galaxy with 4 arms :
g1 = generate_3Dgalaxy(generate_2Dspiral_galaxy,n_arms=4)

# Elliptical galaxy
g2 = generate_3Dgalaxy(generate_2Delliptical_galaxy)

#plot 
plot_galaxy(g1)

TODO

Creation / Visualization

• Generate Spiral galaxy
• Generate Elliptic galaxy
• Generate 3D galaxies

Simulations

• Implement Vectorized N_Body simulation
• Find Good Init parameters (velocity, positions , masses)
• Single Galaxy simulation (as 3D N body system)
• Simulate Galaxy merger

Other simulations (much better than what is done here)
