Tip! Refine or expand your search. Authors are sometimes listed as 'Smith, J. K.' instead of 'Smith, John' so it is useful to search for last names only. Note this is currently a simple phrase search.

[ascl:2503.035] Gradus: Extensible spacetime agnostic general relativistic ray-tracing

Gradus.jl traces geodesics and calculates observational signatures of accreting compact objects. The code requires only a specification of the non-zero metric components of a chosen spacetime in order to solve the geodesic equation and compute a wide variety of trajectories and orbits. Gradus includes algorithms for calculating physical quantities are implemented generically, so they may be used with different classes of spacetime with minimal effort.
