DYNAMITE

DYnamics, Age and Metallicity Indicators Tracing Evolution.

A package for Schwarzschild- and stellar-population modelling of stellar systems.

Installation

See the documentation for full instructions. An overview is:

1. Install the Galahad optimization library
   • ./install_galahad in the directory legacy_fortran/galahad-2.3/
2. Compile the Fortran programs
   • make all in the directory legacy_fortran/
3. Install DYNAMITE Python package
   • python setup.py install in the root directory

Usage

import dynamite as dyn

c = dyn.config_reader.Configuration('my_config.yaml') # read configuration
parset = c.parspace.get_parset() # extract a parameter set from configuration
model = dyn.model.Model(
  system=c.system,
  settings=c.settings,
  parspace=c.parspace,
  parset=parset)          # make a Schwarzschild model
model.setup_directories() # make directory tree
model.get_orblib()        # make an orbit library
model.get_weights()       # find orbital weights
