pyexocross 1.1.0

A Python package for generating molecular and atomic spectra and cross sections

PyExoCross

PyExoCross is a python package and program for generating molecular and atomic spectra and cross sections

Description

PyExoCross is a Python adaptation of the ExoCross Fortran application.

PyExoCross is designed for postprocessing the huge molecular line lists generated by the ExoMol project and other similar initiatives such as the HITRAN and HITEMP. PyExoCross generates absorption and emission spectra and other properties (partition functions, specific heats, cooling functions, lifetimes, oscillator strengths, and stick spectra) based on molecular line lists. PyExoCross calculates cross sections with four line profiles: Doppler, Gaussian, Lorentzian, and Voigt; a number of options are available for computing Voigt profiles. PyExoCross can convert data format between ExoMol and HITRAN. PyExoCross supports importing and exporting line lists in the ExoMol and HITRAN/HITEMP formats.

Run PyExoCross program

In the terminal, use the following commands to run PyExoCross:

python run.py -p input_filepath

If the input filepath is /home/username/PyExoCross/input/H2O_exomol.inp

python run.py -p ./input/H2O_exomol.inp
# OR 
python run.py -p /home/username/PyExoCross/input/H2O_exomol.inp

If you want to run program in conda environment which is named as 'exomol', please use command:

/home/username/anaconda3/envs/exomol/bin/python run.py -p ./input/H2O_exomol.inp

If you need to run program in background, please use command:

# Recommended: Without log file (the program will record log automatically)
nohup python -u run.py -p ./input/H2O_exomol.inp > /dev/null 2>&1
# Save log file
nohup python -u run.py -p ./input/H2O_exomol.inp > ./output/H2O_exomol.out 2>&1 &
# OR 
nohup /home/username/anaconda3/envs/exomol/bin/python -u run.py -p ./input/H2O_exomol.inp > ./output/H2O_exomol.out 2>&1 &

Notes for input file

All information can be written in the input file. Just change the information you will use.You don't need to change any other unnecessary information.Please do not change the first column strings.
