naima

naima is a Python package for computation of non-thermal radiation from relativistic particle populations. It includes tools to perform MCMC fitting of radiative models to X-ray, GeV, and TeV spectra using emcee <http://dan.iel.fm/emcee>_, an affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov Chain Monte Carlo.

naima is named after a ballad composed by John Coltrane in 1959 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naima>_ which appeared in the albums Giant Steps (1959) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTMqes6HDqU>_ and Live at the Village Vanguard (1961) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq3-99vbFt8>_.
