Galaxy Components modules

These modules wrap the different components that build-up a galapy.Galaxy.GXY and derived objects. Each of the galactic components can be used independently and, eventually, extended with further functionalities.

galapy.Galaxy

Implements galaxy classes wrapping up the interplay between the different components contribution to the overall emission.

galapy.StarFormationHistory

GalaPy module handling Star Formation History (SFH) models.

galapy.CompositeStellarPopulation

GalaPy module for combining Simple Stellar Populations (SSP) into a Composite Stellar Population (CSP).

galapy.InterStellarMedium

The Inter-Stellar Medium module implements and wraps the absorbing and re-radiating media of the Galaxy.

galapy.ActiveGalacticNucleus

The ActiveGalacticNucleus module implements the AGN contribution by loading templates from Fritz et al., 2006.

galapy.NebularFreeFree

Implements the Nebular Continuum Emission (Bremsstrahlung) component.

galapy.Synchrotron

The Synchrotron module implements a generic parameterized synchrotron emission.

galapy.XRayBinaries

The XRayBinaries module implements the contribution to the X-band emission from stellar binary systems.

galapy.InterGalacticMedium

Approximated IGM attenuation.

galapy.Cosmology

The Cosmology module defines a Cosmology class whose just a wrapper for interpolation on grid of Luminosity Distances and Ages
