astromodellinglib 1.0

Python scripts to modelling kinematics, dynamics and morphology of galaxies.

astromodellinglib

A Python collection of routines designed to model the kinematics, dynamics, and morphology of galaxies is available. The package includes functions in both 1D and 2D for modeling surface brightness profiles, incorporating well-known profiles such as SERSIC, FREEMAN, and FERRER (to model bars) functions. Additionally, the collection features functions for modeling velocity curves in 1D and observed velocity fields in 2D. These include implementations for various dark halo potentials (e.g., NFW, isothermal sphere, etc.) and phenomenological models such as Bertola and Plummer, among others. Some examples of early applications of this package are exemplified in Hernandez-Jimenez 13, 15.
