Reltrans is an X-ray reverberation mapping model designed to be applicable to both AGN and black hole X-ray binaries. It can be used to model both time averaged spectra, and energy-dependent cross spectra. Depending on the model version, the model can be used to characterize accretion flows and to estimate black hole mass, spin, and source distance.
You can find the documentation at this link. The documentation provides detailed installation and setup in instructions, and describes the various flavours of the model that are available to the users.
We welcome comments and contributions from the community. The best way to get in touch is via the issues_ page, which you can use both to report bugs or odd model behaviour, and to request or discuss features.
