Padova



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.

Features

Simple interfaces to obtain either single isochrones or grids of isochrones.
Validation of settings before requesting data from the CMD servers.

Isochrones are provided as Astropy tables with metadata.
Isochrones can be exported for use with StarFISH.
