afterglowpy

afterglowpy is a Python package for modelling Gamma-ray burst afterglows. It computes synchrotron radiation from an external shock and is capable of handling both structured jets and off-axis observers.

For details of the physics, approximations, and numerical implementation please see Ryan et al. 2020.

You can install afterglowpy with pip:

$ pip install afterglowpy

This documentation is still a little thin. Please read the Quickstart, check out the examples on Github: https://github.com/geoffryan/afterglowpy, and contact the author if you have any questions or issues.
