Dynamite (DYnamics, Age and Metallicity Indicators Tracing Evolution) is a modelling tool for stellar population+dynamical modelling.

Dynamite is based on an older code for Schwarzschild modelling in triaxial systems which is available here. Dynamite will extend this old code with a number of new features, including:

  • discrete kinematics
  • more flexible descriptions of line-of-sight velocity distributions
  • population modelling
  • smarter steps through parameter space
  • GPU acceleration
  • more flexible potentials

An overview of the
