We could look into using the diskcache package to cache MAST search operations:

https://pypi.org/project/diskcache/

The package is a disk-based key-value store which makes it easy to specify an expiration time for each entry. This would allow us to e.g. cache search queries for 24 hours, which would significantly speed up searches across different Python processes, whilst largely avoiding

It would be useful to keep track of how many retries a simulation did in the amr_diag.out file, which already records the coarse timestep info

The python implementation of leapfrog does not make use of the fact that drifts can be combined when not storing output, causing it to be slower than necessary. Comparing to the C implementation, it also appears to not be as precise.

Would be nice to have simpler access to the csvy writer for general model creation. Currently it is a part of the custom abundance widget, but the tool is generally useful.

Adding the link to Radis-Lab issues & features. Good first issues for those who are familiar with Python and Jupyter Notebook.

The following seminar work of Hernquist details a light profile called the Hernquist profile:

The intensity calculation for a spherical model is given by equations (32-35):

It would be good to implement this light

It was noted in the review for our JOSS paper that the keyword argument noise for the function redshifts_from_comoving_density has a misleading name. See the review comment here. They suggested renaming to fixed_N. My own suggestion would be shot_noise (or perhaps poisson). Since this would require a break
