Software for simulating zodiacal emission

Project description

PyPI version astropy Tests codecov arXiv Paper

ZodiPy is a Python tool for simulating the zodiacal emission in intensity that an arbitrary Solar System observer sees, either in the form of timestreams or full-sky HEALPix maps.

Help

See the documentation for more information and examples on how to use ZodiPy for different applications.

Installation

ZodiPy is installed using pip install zodipy.

A simple example

import astropy.units as u
from astropy.time import Time

from zodipy import Zodipy


model = Zodipy("dirbe")

emission = model.get_emission_ang(
    25 * u.micron,
    theta=[10, 10.1, 10.2] * u.deg,
    phi=[90, 89, 88] * u.deg,
    obs_time=Time("2022-01-01 12:00:00"),
    obs="earth",
)

print(emission)
#> [15.35392831 15.35495051 15.35616009] MJy / sr
