gyoto-bin

General relativistic ray-tracing command-line interface

Gyoto is a framework for computing geodesics in curved space-times. The gyoto utility program uses this framework to compute images of astronomical objects in the vicinity of compact objects (e.g. black-holes). Such images are distorted by strong gravitational lensing. The gyoto program takes a scenery description in XML format, computes this scenery using relativistic ray-tracing, and saves the result in FITS format. This package contains the `gyoto' command-line utility. More complex uses of the Gyoto framework can be achieved using the yorick-gyoto, python-gyoto or python3-gyoto packages. Gyoto can be extended with plug-ins (see libgyoto6-dev). MPI parallelization requires the mpi-default-bin package.

gyoto

General relativistic geodesic integration and ray-tracing

Gyoto is a framework for computing geodesics in curved space-times. The gyoto utility program uses this framework to compute images of astronomical objects in the vicinity of compact objects (e.g. black-holes). Such images are distorted by strong gravitational lensing. The gyoto program takes a scenery description in XML format, computes this scenery using relativistic ray-tracing, and saves the result in FITS format. This metapackage depends on all the Gyoto interfaces (command-line, Yorick, Python 2 and 3). MPI parallelization requires the mpi-default-bin package. The Gyoto documentation is provided in the gyoto-doc package.

gyoto-dbg

debugging symbols for the Gyoto framework

Gyoto aims at providing a framework for computing orbits and ray-traced images in General relativity. It consists in a shared library (this package), utility programs (in the gyoto package), and a plug-in for the Yorick and Python 2 and 3 programming language (in yorick-gyoto, python-gyoto and python3-gyoto). This package contains the debugging symbols for the gyoto-bin, libgyoto6, yorick-gyoto, python-gyoto and python3-gyoto packages.
