PopStar

INSTALL (from git)

• python (preferably via ureka, as it includes some necessary packages, like astropy and pysynphot)

  python dependencies: * astropy * pysynphot * ATpy (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ATpy) * asciitable (http://www.stecf.org/software/PYTHONtools/astroasciidata/) - note: if python was installed via ureka, the asciitable install folder may need to be copied from the default python site-packages folder to ureka's site-packages folder

• Github respository dependencies (git clone these)

  • jluastro/JLU-python-code
  • jluastro/nirc2

Add all of these to your python path in your .cshrc:

set CODE_DIR = /path/to/top/level/python/code setenv PYTHONPATH ${CODE_DIR}/popstar/PopStar:${CODE_DIR}/jlu/JLU-python-code-master:${CODE_DIR}/jlu/JLU-python-code-master/jlu/gc:${CODE_DIR}/nirc2:${CODE_DIR}/ATpy-0.9.7:${CODE_DIR}/asciidata/asciidata-1.1.1

Once you have cloned the popstar repository, you will need to download the grid of evolution and atmosphere models. The evolution models can be found here:

GIT SITE -- load these up /g/lu/models/evolution/

Ready: ** pisa_ekstrom_parsec ** pisa_ekstrom_parsec/norot

Data files ready but not yet supported in code: * Ekstrom2012 (rot and norot) * ParsecV1.2S * Pisa2011 * geneva * merged ** siess_meynetMaeder_padova * padova * pallaStahler1999 * siess2000

Update: * STERN2011

The atmosphere models use the CDBS framework (which is supported by pysynphot). We have added new grids of atmosphere models (including merged sets of atmospheres). You can find the complete CDBS grid you can download from here:

GIT SITE -- load these up /g/lu/models/cdbs

Ready: * phoenix_v16 - high resolution (reformatted for CDBS) * phoenix_v16_rebin - downgraded to improve synthetic photometry performance.

MODEL LOCATION

You need to notify python where these models are going to live. This is done in two steps.

In your .cshrc or .bashrc, set the PSYN_CDBS variable to point to the CDBS directory:
