Recent Releases of VAST

VAST - VAST 1.3.0

Significant update to the inner workings of VoidFinder in how the four bounding galaxies are identified: instead of iteratively shifting the sphere center until the next nearest galaxy is found, the candidate galaxies are pulled from the shell of grid cells surrounding that which the sphere center is currently located. If no appropriate bounding galaxy is identified from this set, the search is extended to the next shell; this process is repeated until it is determined that no bounding galaxy exists (because the sphere is at the edge of the survey) or until a bounding galaxy is found.

Minor bugs in V2 are also fixed.

Updates to VoidFinder, including - Identifying boundary voids (those which have any part of their surface falling outside the survey mask) - Fixing the identification of the fourth galaxy (only searching in the direction away from the plane formed by the first three bounding galaxies)
