\textit{Oh, One of the biggest hurdles faced by researchers dealing with simulation data is figuring out how to analyze said data. This problem is particularly bad for users of GADGET, as there is no standard format for output files, making it difficult to create a tool useful for anyone outside of your own team. This is in some ways an
empty article!} intrinsic problem for science; everyone is interested in a different aspect of a simulation’s output, and to save space, save only what they need, resulting in a different format every time. GADGET’s support for the HDF5 file protocol, however, provides at least a partial answer to this problem. If one can analyze an HDF5 file, they can perform exploratory analysis of that data without needing to know anything else about the file structure. The same cannot be said for GADGET’s alternative binary output format.
You can get started by \textbf{double clicking} this text block and begin editing. You can also click While use of the

Pandas is a thoroughly documented, open-source, BSD-licensed library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for python with a strong community of developers.
With this
text. Happy writing! in mind, I propose to develop a pandas-based framework for analyzing GADGET-HDF5 files, leveraging the prior work I have done on a numpy-based framework I have taken to calling pyGadget [https://github.com/hummel/pyGadget].
