NVD Concedes Inability to Keep Pace with Surging CVE Disclosures in 2025
Security experts warn that recent classification changes obscure the true scope of the NVD backlog as CVE volume hits all-time highs.
This is small Python library to model the fluxes of charged particles trapped in the Van Allen belt. It provides a fast, simple, and convenient Python interface to the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) model and NASA's AE-8/AP-8 models of electron and proton fluxes, which are both implemented in Fortran. The package is integrated with the Astropy ecosystem for easy conversion of coordinate systems, time scales, and units. With this package, it is easy and fast to determine the flux of particles above any given energy, at any position, at any time.
This package is wraps the following Fortran codes, which have been retrieved from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC):
When publishing results derived from this Python package, please cite the following articles:
$ pip install .
>>> from radbelt import get_flux
>>> from astropy import units as u
>>> from astropy.coordinates import EarthLocation
>>> from astropy.time import Time
>>> coords = EarthLocation(-45 * u.deg, -30 * u.deg, 500 * u.km)
>>> time = Time('2021-03-01')
>>> energy = 20 * u.MeV
>>> get_flux(coords, time, energy, 'p', 'max') # doctest: +FLOAT_CMP
