ExosPy (2.3)

Exosphere Python Package

Model Description

ExosPy (Cucho-Padin et al., 2023) is an open-source Python package developed to investigate the terrestrial exosphere by providing access to several state-of-the-art models of the atomic hydrogen (H) exospheric density and by calculating the corresponding far-ultraviolet (FUV) Lyman-alpha (Ly-α) emission intensity.
