PROJECT #1
------------

This project involves building disk galaxies, evolving them in
isolation, assessing their evolutionary stability, and repeating
these steps under a wide variety of disk-galaxy parameters to
explore their stability, and how it depends on the disk model
parameters (and, ideally, how this relates to observed disk
structure).

The following is a general outline of the steps required to
start this project.

1. Make the initial galaxy models using MakeDiskGalaxy or MakeHubbleType,
   see the associated README files for details about compiling these codes
   and running them to generate a disk galaxy initial condition file.


2. Simulate the evolution of this system using Gadget.  See the Gadget.REAME
   file for details about compiling Gadget, and then the directory Sa for
   an example of how to run Gadget to evolve the previously generated
   initial conditions.


3. Use IDL to visualize these galaxies and assess the structure of
   each galaxy.  Does it form a bar?  Does it stay smooth?  How does
   its structure depend upon the parameters used as input to the building
   program?
