isochrone visualization How far can you travel on foot in 15 minutes? Urban planners use isochrone maps to show spatial horizons (i.e., isolines) that are equal in time. Isochrones depict areas according to how long it takes to arrive there from some point. These visualizations are particularly useful in transportation planning as they reveal what places are accessible within a set of time horizons. https://geoffboeing.com/2017/08/isochrone-maps-osmnx-python/

First brought up by Gautam and some minimal research showed some open source projects. For me some new knowledge and yet another visualization technique.

isochrones

Isochrones is a python package that provides a simple interface to grids of stellar evolution models, enabling the following common use cases:

  • Interpolating stellar model values at desired locations.
  • Generating properties of synthetic stellar populations.
  • Determining stellar properties of either single- or multiple-star systems, based on arbitrary observables.

The central goal of isochrones is to standardize model-grid-based stellar parameter inference, and to enable such inference under different sets of stellar models. For now, only MIST models are included, but we hope to incorporate YAPSI and PARSEC models as well. https://isochrones.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
