Space Interferometer Python Framework

SPIFFY

Space Interferometer Python Framework A collection of tools to visualize, calculate and simulate GW spatial interferometers.

How does it work

This library integrates the following Python libraries:

• Sympy: uses the Vector and ReferenceFrame utilities. In the future may use CAS.
• Numpy: number crunching and used by mayavi.
• Mayavi: 3d visualization of orbits.
• Matplotlib: other useful visualizations.

Plus the theoretical framework of:

• Orbital mechanics;
• Gravitational wave signals;
• Time-Delay Interferometry.

Installation

See requirements.txt for a list of requirements. Some are not straightfoward to install and may required additional tools (such as VS toolkit).

Using:

At the time, only circular orbits are defined.
