PyPI Status Python Versions CI Status Docs Status Code Coverage Code Quality License

species is a toolkit for atmospheric characterization of directly imaged exoplanets. It provides a coherent framework for spectral and photometric analysis which builds on publicly-available data and models from various resources.

There are tools available for grid and free retrievals using Bayesian inference, synthetic photometry, interpolating a variety atmospheric and evolutionary model grids (including the possibility to add a custom grid), color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, empirical spectral analysis, spectral and photometric calibration, and analysis of emission lines. The package has been released on PyPI and is actively developed and maintained on Github.

Documentation

Documentation can be found at http://species.readthedocs.io.

Tutorials

There are several Jupyter notebooks with tutorials for various types of analyses and functionalities.
