pisces.models.stars.polytropes#

Polytropic models of stellar structure.

This module contains a variety of models which all rely on an assumed polytropic equation of state and the resulting Lane-Emden equation to compute the structure of a star. The models are designed to be used in a variety of contexts, from simple stellar models to more complex systems that require polytropic equations of state.
