StellarICs: Stellar and solar Inverse Compton emission package
Elena Orlando, Andrew Strong
TL;DR
StellarICs is a software package designed to calculate gamma-ray emission from inverse-Compton scattering by cosmic-ray leptons in stellar environments, aiding the study of cosmic-ray populations.
Contribution
It introduces a flexible, publicly available tool for modeling inverse-Compton emission in stellar and heliospheric contexts, accommodating various cosmic-ray spectra and modulation models.
Findings
Provides a new computational tool for gamma-ray emission modeling.
Enables analysis of cosmic-ray leptons in the heliosphere and stellar atmospheres.
Supports user-defined cosmic-ray spectra and modulation models.
Abstract
StellarICs is software to compute gamma-ray emission from inverse-Compton scattering by cosmic-ray leptons in the heliosphere and in the photospheres of stars. It includes a set of cosmic-ray spectra and a formulation of their modulation, but it can be used for any user-defined modulation model and lepton spectra. Inverse-Compton emission provides a unique probe of cosmic-ray leptons in the heliosphere between the earth and the sun. The software is publicly available and it is under continuing development.
