ZodiPy

Introduction

Introduction

ZodiPy is a Python package for zodiacal light simulations. Its purpose is to provide the astrophysics and cosmology communities with an easy-to-use and accessible interface to existing zodiacal light models in Python, assisting in astrophysical data analysis and zodiacal light forecasting for future experiments.

For other zodiacal light tools, see Zodiacal Light Models on LAMBDA.
