## Instructions

To download all data used in the analysis you must have access to the [German Astronomical Virtual Observatory](http://www.g-vo.org/), Millennium [database](http://gavo.mpa-garching.mpg.de/MyMillennium/).

You can then run the scripts in the `queries/` folder.

cd queries
./queries.sh
./z0_query.sh

To compile the `norm_coods` cythonised module:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace
