A python package to forward model the formation of phase-space spirals with dark and luminous galactic satellites.
- generation of realistic subhalo populations, including their orbits and masses
- flexible parameterization of the Galactic potential, and the potential of the disk in the solar neighborhood
- approximate calculation of changes to the vertical action caused by satellite fly-bys
- diffusion model for scattering between stars and giant molecular clouds
