Python interface to Turbospectrum.

Authors

• Alex Ji (University of Chicago)

With major contributions from Jean Somalwar and Ivanna Escala

Installation

This only works with python 3 (needs format strings)

Python Dependencies

• numpy
• astropy

Turbospectrum

• Install Turbospectrum: https://github.com/bertrandplez/Turbospectrum2019
• You will need to have babsma_lu and bsyn_lu in your $PATH
• Define the environment variable $TURBODATA=/path/to/Turbospectrum2019/DATA

Usage

This is an example of how this should work once it's all going:

import turbopy

wmin, wmax, dwl = 6700, 6720, 0.1
ll = turbopy.TSLineList("vald-6700-6720.list")
atmo = turbopy.MARCSModel.load("sun.mod")

wave, norm, flux = turbopy.run_synth(wmin, wmax, dwl,
                                     [12.0, 0.4], [6.0, 0.5], [8.0, 0.5],
                                     atmosphere=atmo, vt=1.0,
                                     linelist=ll, outfname="sun-6700-6720.tar.gz")

Right now if you have a linelist and model atmosphere that you like, this will work (based on Jo Bovy's APOGEE code).

I am now making utilities to deal with linelists, model atmospheres, and such.
