Stellar evolution (XUV & bolometric) and code restructure #41

Closed nichollsh closed 1 year ago

nichollsh commented 1 year ago

The main aim of this branch was to implement the Mors stellar evolution code into PROTEUS, so that we can calculate the X-ray, EUV, and UV fluxes over time. These are especially needed for chemistry and escape. This required adapting the output of the Mors code so that it can scale up/down the modern spectrum such that it produces the correct amount of flux at a given age.

The changes included in this branch are outlined below:
