Code developed by our group members

Binary_c

The  and binary_c-python codes together form a state-of-the-art software framework for the evolution of single and binary stars, nucleosynthesis studies and stellar population calculations. You can download binary_c at its . Binary_c-python is on and can be installed with pip3 from . You can read about it .

EMACSS (Evolve Me a Cluster of StarS)

is a rapid clusters evolution code developed by Poul Alexander (Cambridge) and Mark Gieles. Take a look at the accompanying papers:

• .

LIMEPY (Lowered Isothermal Model Explorer in PYthon)

 is a python base code to solve a general class of lowered isothermal model, including Michie (1963) King (1966) and Wilson (1975), including radial anisotropy and multi-mass systems (Gieles and Zocchi, )

libMemoize

Libmemoize provides a wrapper around C functions to memoize them, i.e. only call them once for a given set of parameters. If you are running a function which is expensive, gives a unique result result for a given set of input parameters (i.e. is "pure"), then libmemoize may speed up your program. Download from .

NBODY6tt

 is an adapted version of  (NBODY6 Tidal Tensor) which allows the user defined external potentials to be applied to the cluster. Written by Florent Renaud (¿Û¿Û´«Ã½, formerly at Strassbourg and Saclay) and Mark Gieles (¿Û¿Û´«Ã½). , this was applied to  and .

libcdict

The library is a C implementation of a hashing library which provides functionality like a Python dict or Perl hash, and can output directly to JSON so its output can directly be implemented in Python or Perl. Read about it at , download from its.

librinterpolate

The librinterpolate library is a very fast linear interpolation library, designed for use in binary_c but useful in its own right. Download from its .

Window to the Stars

 is a graphical user interface to the popular TWIN single/binary stellar evolution code, for novices, students and professional astrophysicists. It removes the drudgery associated with the traditional approach to running the code, while maintaining the power, output quality and flexibility a modern stellar evolutionist requires. It is currently being used for cutting edge research and interactive teaching. . Window to the Stars is used in the STFC- and Royal Society-funded project.
