Helpers for using Padova isochrones.
Project description
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.
Padova submits requests to the CMD 2.5 interface, downloads resulting data files, and provides tools to read those isochrone/luminosity function outputs into Astropy Table instances.
Please use this project responsibly. Don’t push the CMD servers with too many requests.
Dependencies
astropy (including numpy, scipy, cython)
mechanize
Tests
You can run tests via:
python setup.py test
The tests are located in padova/tests/.
