padova 0.1.2

Helpers for using Padova isochrones.

Padova

Padova is a small python package for working with the so-called Padova evolutionary tracks produced by Girardi and collaborators. Padova is compatible with the Astropy project.

Take a look at this Jupyter notebook to see what Padova can do.

Of course, please use this project responsibly. Don’t abuse the CMD servers.

Features

• Simple interfaces to obtain either single isochrones or grids of isochrones.

• Validation of settings before requesting data from the CMD servers.

• Caching of requests so you don’t hit the CMD servers when you ask for an isochrone set you already have.

• Isochrones are provided as Astropy tables with metadata.

• Isochrones can be exported for use with StarFISH.
