ares

The Accelerated Reionization Era Simulations (ares) code was designed to rapidly generate models for the global 21-cm signal. It can also be used as a 1-D radiative transfer code, stand-alone non-equilibrium chemistry solver, or meta-galactic radiation background calculator.

A few papers on how it works:

Be warned: this code is still under active development – use at your own risk! Correctness of results is not guaranteed. This documentation is as much of a work in progress as is the code itself, so if you encounter gaps or errors please do let me know.

Quick-Start

To make sure everything is working, a quick test is to generate a realization of the global 21-cm signal using all default parameter values:

import ares

sim = ares.simulations.Global21cm()
sim.run()
sim.GlobalSignature()

See Physical Models for the Global 21-cm Signal in Examples for a more thorough introduction to this type of calculation.
