Padova is a small python package for working with the so-called Padova evolutionary tracks produced by Girardi and collaborators. Padova is compatible with the Astropy project.
Take a look at this Jupyter notebook to see what Padova can do.
Of course, please use this project responsibly. Don't abuse the CMD servers.
- Simple interfaces to obtain either single isochrones or grids of isochrones.
- Validation of settings before requesting data from the CMD servers.
- Caching of requests so you don't hit the CMD servers when you ask for an isochrone set you already have.
- Isochrones are provided as Astropy tables with metadata.
- Isochrones can be exported for use with StarFISH.
pip install padova
- numpy
- Astropy
- Requests
- pytoml
- setuptools
Padova uses py.test and tox to run tests. Setup with:
pip install tox

- Padova provides data from the CMD web site, which is a product of Leo Girardi and collaborators.
- Padova takes inspiration and incorporates code from ezpadova by Morgan Fouesneau.
