HERMES¶
High-Energy Radiative MESsengers is a C++17 framework with Python bindings for line-of-sight calculations of Galactic multi-messenger emission. It builds HEALPix-compatible maps for radio, gamma-ray, neutrino, and propagation observables from interchangeable physical ingredients.
HERMES currently covers:
- dispersion and rotation measures;
- free-free and synchrotron radio emission, including absorption;
- pion-decay gamma rays and neutrinos;
- bremsstrahlung and inverse-Compton gamma rays;
- gamma-ray absorption and neutron decay;
- dark-matter annihilation and decay products.
