pynucastro: an interface to nuclear reaction rates and code generator for reaction network equations
arXiv:1803.08920 · doi:10.21105/joss.00588
Abstract
pynucastro addresses two needs in the field of nuclear astrophysics: visual exploration of nuclear reaction rates or networks and automated code generation for integrating reaction network ODEs. pynucastro accomplishes this by interfacing with nuclear reaction rate parameterizations published by the JINA Reaclib project (Cyburt et al. 2010).
