Coming soon.
This model uses a Galactocentric cylindrical approach to modeling stellar counts and kinematics based off measured luminosity functions and kinematic distributions. Every parameter in this model is based off probability distributions, hence, each run will be different, even for the same input parameters (that’s the Loki aspect).
Currently building Travis implementation.
