gyro-interp
Hi! Welcome to the documentation for gyrointerp
, a Python package that
calculates gyrochronal ages by interpolating between open cluster rotation
sequences.
gyrointerp
packages the model from Bouma, Palumbo & Hillenbrand (2023) into a fast and easy-to-use framework.
The documentation below will walk you through the most common use-cases. For
brevity, we’ll refer to that paper as BPH23.
This package is designed to meet the needs of working astronomers with interests in gyrochronal age measurement, and we encourage community involvement. If you find a bug or would like to request a feature, please do create an issue on Github.
