qnm: A Python package for calculating Kerr quasinormal modes, separation constants, and spherical-spheroidal mixing coefficients

Abstract

Archived version (v0.4.0) to match JOSS publication.\n\nChanges since v0.3.0:\n\n\n\tRootfinding tolerance and continued fraction tolerances are now independent\n\tCache directory location determined by a more standard procedure and can be controlled by env var, see docs of qnm.cached.get_cachedir()\n\tUsing pathlib (or pathlib2) for cross-platform path access\n\tAdd options interp_only and resolve_if_found to KerrSpinSeq.__call__ for better control of (re)solving\n\tStart versioning cache data\n\tStart using Travis for automated tests\n\tAdd notebook for comparison against Greg Cook's precomputed tables\n
