Neutron-star equation-of-state toolkit
Early-stage software for loading analytical, tabulated, and one-dimensional CompOSE equations of state, reporting source capabilities, and computing continuous TOV backgrounds without silently extending an input beyond its declared boundary.
Purpose
This small Python toolkit opens analytical, CSV, and cold one-dimensional CompOSE equations of state, reports what each source can support, and—where the input permits it—calculates continuous source-boundary TOV backgrounds.
It keeps native source thermodynamics separate from an optional continuous stellar barotrope. Inputs are not silently sorted, clipped, smoothed, repaired, spliced, or extrapolated to make a calculation succeed.
Present scope
The development tree includes an installable package and command-line interface, citation metadata, tests, examples, and explicit capability reporting. The stellar solver presently covers continuous background models and stops at the source’s lowest selected positive pressure rather than silently identifying that boundary with a vacuum surface.
Maturity
The project is explicitly alpha software. It has no tagged release, public benchmark result packet, demonstrated external adoption, or independent validation. Its repository is not linked from this site while affiliation, citation, public-scope, and contribution wording remain under review. It is included here as ongoing engineering work—not as a finished research output.
Current limits. Tidal observables, physical density jumps, resolved maximum-mass claims, finite-temperature reductions, automatic crust splicing, and two-fluid models remain outside the supported scope.
Its role differs from EoS Generation: this toolkit is general input and background infrastructure, while the BSk24 project implements one specialized deformation-and-reconstruction method with a released campaign.
