Zalmoxis
Interior structure solver for rocky planets and sub-Neptunes.
Zalmoxis computes self-consistent radial profiles of density, pressure, temperature, gravity, and phase state for differentiated planets from 0.1 to 50 Earth masses. Given a total mass, layer composition, and temperature mode, it iteratively solves the coupled hydrostatic equilibrium equations to determine the planet's radius and internal structure.
Features
- Multiple EOS families: PALEOS unified tables (iron, MgSiO3, H2O), Chabrier H2 for sub-Neptune interiors, Wolf & Bower 2018, Seager 2007, and analytic polytropes
- Multi-material mixing: volume-additive harmonic mean with per-component phase-aware suppression
- H2 miscibility: binodal suppression models for H2-silicate and H2-H2O phase boundaries
- Temperature modes: adiabatic (self-consistent), isothermal, linear, or prescribed profiles
- Parameter grids: sweep any combination of input parameters via TOML grid files
Quick start
# Install
git clone https://github.com/FormingWorlds/Zalmoxis.git
cd Zalmoxis
pip install -e .
# Download EOS data
bash tools/setup/get_zalmoxis.sh
# Run default config (1 Earth-mass, PALEOS iron + MgSiO3)
python -m zalmoxis -c input/default.toml
See the installation guide and usage guide for details.
