ASteCA#
ASteCA is pure Python open source tool designed to perform the analysis applied to stellar clusters in order to determine their intrinsic/extrinsic fundamental parameters: extinction, distance, metallicity, age, binarity, mass, etc..
Important
Version 0.5.0 was a mayor re-write of ASteCA. In previous versions ASteCA was a large script, from this version onward it is a proper Python package. Many of the features that were previously available were removed (at least temporarily) to concentrate on the fundamental parameters estimation. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about using this code in your research, and please open a new issue in the code’s repository if you find something either wrong, confusing or missing.
Install with:
pip install asteca
More details on how to install using a conda environment are available in the Section Installation.
