Zephyrus is a module used to compute atmospheric escape of exoplanets. In Greek mythology, Zephyrus is the God of the West wind. He is often associated with a small breeze. Zephyrus is also the messenger of spring.

- Basic install
pip install fwl-zephyrus- Developer install with code sources
git clone git@github.com:FormingWorlds/ZEPHYRUS.git
cd ZEPHYRUS
pip install -e .- Download input data
The
fwl-morspython package is used to compute the XUV stellar incoming flux on the planet, which most escape models rely on. This package requires a set of stellar evolution data, stored in the OSF repository. To download the data follow the following steps.- Set the environment variable FWL_DATA to define where the data files will be stored
export FWL_DATA=...- This can be done permanently by entering this line into your
~/.bashrcfile.
- Run the following command to download all evolution track data
mors download all
- Set the environment variable FWL_DATA to define where the data files will be stored
In the example folder, you can find python scripts showing typical usecases/workflows of escape computation with Zephyrus.
