Cosmic ray electrons scatter on the photon fields around stars, including the sun, to create gamma rays by the inverse Compton effect. This program computes the spectrum and angular distribution of this emission. The software also includes general-purpose routines for inverse Compton scattering on a given electron spectrum, for example for interstellar or astrophysical source modelling. For further information see these publications: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0607563, http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.2178, http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.2093, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013NuPhS.239..266O and this conference presentation: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/130879399/poster_symposium_sun_2012.pdf and the corresponding conference paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6798 2017 June 16: now available from gitlab https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/aws/stellarics which will be used for future develpments.

A Bayesian analysis of neutron star mass and radius observations based on O2scl.

This is a set of spectral models for use in the astronomical X-ray spectral modeling program XSPEC. The models calculate X-ray emission line Doppler profiles from the winds of OB stars.

Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center. ...

A universe simulator and generator written in Java that is capable of simulating stars with planetary systems, binary systems and other phenomena. This universe can be generated or scripted (in small parts). This will be used in a planned space combat/

A framework for generating a random universe populated with random stars, planets, etc. Uses the laws of physics and the known periodic table of elements for computations.
