planetsynth is a python package to generate cooling tracks for giant planets.
Download or clone this repository, navigate into the directory and execute
pip install .
or
python setup.py install
The package requires numpy>=1.18.5 and scipy>=1.9.0.
from planetsynth import PlanetSynth
logt = 9 # log(planetary age) in yrs
M = 0.4 # mass in Jupiter masses
Z = 0.2 # bulk heavy-element content (mass fraction)
Ze = 0.02 # atmospheric metallicity (mass fraction)
logF = 5 # log(incident stellar irradiation) in erg/s/cm2
planet_params = [M, Z, Ze, logF]
pls = PlanetSynth()
pred = pls.predict(logt, planet_params)See examples/example.ipynb for more examples and in-depth explanations.
