Usage: Quickstart Example

Here we provide a quick example of running zCluster on part of the Burenin et al. (2007) 400SD cluster catalog.

Note

The catalog files needed for this tutorial can be found in the examples/ directory of the zCluster source distribution.

There are two cluster catalog files provided, 400SDAll.csv and 400SDSmall.csv. The latter contains just the first 20 rows of the former, and is enough to check that the code is working.

To run zCluster using galaxy photometry from SDSS DR12, use:

zCluster 400SDSmall.csv SDSSDR12

To plot a comparison of the results with the spectroscopic redshifts in the 400SD catalog, run:

zClusterComparisonPlot 400SDSmall.csv zCluster_400SDSmall_SDSSDR12.fits

These examples use the default options - to see others, run each command with the -h flag.
