Tools for Model Comparisons

• TOGA: Photometric catalogs of simulated galaxies.
  
• SLACR: Lyman alpha and metal absorption line spectra from simulations.
  
• AutoVP: Automated Voigt profile fitter for quasar spectra.
  
• SPOC: Bayesian comparison of photometry of individual galaxies to model ensembles.
