Chiantipy - The Python Interface To Chianti
Abstract
Python is a free, modern, object-oriented programming language that is well suited to scientific data analysis. A command line version for use within the IPython shell is under development and significant progress has already been made. Programmatically, each ion in the CHIANTI database is treated as an object, providing a good match to the structure of the CHIANTI database. Currently, ChiantiPy is able to calculate and plot level populations, spectral line emissivities, contribution functions, G(n,T), and line intensity ratios as functions of temperature and electron and proton density. A GUI version is also planned.
The current capabilities of ChiantiPy will be demonstrated.- Publication:
