What’s New in macro_lightning v1.0.X?

Bug fixes (in X releases) are annotated with @X

Overview

Using the template from @nstarman, which is a forked from the Astropy-affiliate template.

This release includes:

• Framework

• Physics

• Parameters

• Plot

• Data

• Utils

Framework

• physics for physics functions

• parameters for astronomical parameters

• plot for plotting constraints

• utils for utilities

Physics

Physics functions for calculating a variety of previously derived constraints. None of these functions are used in the macro derivation.

• CMB()

• nuclear_density()

• black_hole()

• atomic_density()

• KeplerTop()

• LMCTop()

• twobody_vesc()

• multibody_vesc()

• calculate_Mx()

• calculate_Sx()

• calculate_Mx_and_Sx()

Parameters

Solar system parameters for calculating infall velocities.

• solar_system_vesc_params()

• vesc_sun_at_R()

Plot

Reference densities, such as atomic, nuclear, and black hole. Also a function to plot all reference densities.

• plot_atomic_density_line()

• plot_nuclear_density_line()

• plot_black_hole_line()

• plot_reference_densities()

Plotting functions related to constraint plots.

• plot_mica_constraints()

• plot_white_dwarf_constraints()

• plot_cmb_constraints()

• plot_superbursts_constraints()

• plot_humandeath_constraints()

• plot_dfn_constraints()

• plot_lensing_constraints()

• plot_black_hole_constraints()

And a contextmanager for quick creation of new plots.

• constraints_plot()

Data

Functions to load the data.

• load_mica_constraints()

• load_superbursts_polygons()

• load_humandeath_constraints()

• load_whitedwarf_constraints()

Utils

Functions to work with lists of Quantity. These first convert the list of quantities to a quantity list, which can natively work with numpy functions.

• as_quantity()

• qsquare()

• qnorm()

• qarange()
