The Phantom Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code
Phantom is a 3D Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and Magnetohydrodynamics code for astrophysics. It was written and developed by Daniel Price with contributions from many others (see AUTHORS). It is designed to be a fast 3D SPH code with a low memory footprint, for production runs. It is not a code for testing algorithms (use NDSPMHD instead).

We welcome general discussion about Phantom, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, and astrophysics at the Phantom Slack. However, please use the github issues for support requests.
We welcome contributions, including (but not limited to):
- Code, via pull request. Please read developer section of user guide for guidelines.
- Documentation, also by pull request. Docs can be edited in the docs/ directory of the main code.
- Suggestions for features or bug reports, via the issue tracker. Please file bugs via github rather than by email.
Please cite Price et al. (2018) when using Phantom. Wherever possible, please try to also cite original references for the algorithms you are using. A partial list can be found in docs/phantom.bib file, or by reading the relevant sections of the paper.
For CHANGES see the release notes: https://phantomsph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html. See LICENCE file for usage and distribution conditions.
