Starburstpy

StarburstPy is a python wrapper for Starburst99 (Leitherer et al. (1999), Leitherer et al. (2014)) in python.

The Starburst99 Fortan code must be downloaded and compiled before this will work. See http://www.stsci.edu/science/starburst99/docs/default.htm for the Starburst99 code and instructions on how to compile it.

I do not maintain the Starburst99 code so I cannot answer (most) technical questions about it. Questions about Starburst99 should be directed to Claus Leitherer.

Example scripts can be found at https://github.com/rjtanner/StarburstPy. Code can also be found at https://pypi.org/project/StarburstPy/.

StarburstPy can also be used to read in Starburst99 data files generated previously. See 'read_sb_files.py' for an example.

Download from github or install using

pip install StarburstPy

Questions about StarburstPy should be directed to me, the author.
