TOP’s documentation¶
Overview¶
TOP consists of a python module, a compiler and several templates (see Stellar Models in TOP) to read stellar models. This allows users to write their own set of equations in a flexible way.
The basic workflow with TOP is the following:
- write an equation file (see Equation Files)
- compile this file with top-build
- compute oscillations modes and frequencies with top python module (see
Python API):
- read input parameters
- read a stellar model
- run the Arnoldi-Chebyshev method

This public version of the TOP code is part of the SPACEInn Project (Exploitation of Space Data for Innovative Helio- and Asteroseismology), initiated by the European Helio- and Asteroseismology Network (HELAS) and financed by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 project n° 312844). This work also benefits of the French Spatial Agency (CNES) through its support to the Plato mission.
