Description

PyMoS2 is a program that aims to offer a comprehensive simulation of a simple model of the interior of a static, non-magnetic star of $1$ solar mass $(1$ $M_{\odot})$, from the production of energy through nuclear reactions, the radiative and convective transport of energy and the movement of a convective cell.

Key Features

• Stellar_core: models energy production in the star's core. It implements the reactions involved in the PP chain and from this takes the profile of the relevant parameters depending on the radius.

• Stellar_structure: models the structure of the star from the core to the surface and delimits the radiative and convective transport zones in the stellar interior.

• Stellar_convection: models the hydrodynamic movement of a convective cell in the stellar interior and generates an animation of the movement.

Installation

First you need to check if you have git software installed on your machine. You can check by typing the following in your terminal:

$ git --version

If no version appears, then you will need to download it. Depending on your operating system, you can install it as follows:

I. Mac OSX

• Install the package from https://git-scm.com/download/mac.

II. Linux

• Depending on your distribution:

A. Debian and Ubuntu-based distros:

$ sudo apt-get install git

B. Red-Hat-based distros:

$ sudo yum install git

Once done, from a new terminal create a directory dedicated for this tool with the name PyMoS2, and from it, clone this github files:

git clone https://github.com/GabrielWendell/PyMoS2.git

This will download the code and instructions =D
