polyrot: Polytropic modeling of rapidly rotating planets and stars
polyrot computes the structure of rotating polytropic bodies. The code computes the equilibrium structure of rotating planets and stars modeled as "polytropes" with pressure and density, and can also compute models including rotation specified as a function of cylindrical radius. polyrot includes a basic plotting function that can show a cross-section along the rotation axis with the colormap indicating density, and a line plotting the surface radius of the star; these and other quantities are attached as attributes to the model.
