Padova is a small python package for working with the so-called Padova evolutionary tracks <http://stev.oapd.inaf.it/cgi-bin/cmd> produced by Girardi and collaborators. Padova is compatible with the Astropy project.

Take a look at this Jupyter notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/jonathansick/padova/blob/master/notebooks/demo.ipynb>_ 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.
• 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_.

Installation

pip install padova

Dependencies

• numpy
• Astropy_

Credits

• Padova provides data from the CMD web site <http://stev.oapd.inaf.it/cgi-bin/cmd>_, which is a product of Leo Girardi and collaborators.
• Padova takes inspiration and incorporates code from ezpadova_ by Morgan Fouesneau.
