# agnpy docs¶

agnpy focuses on the numerical computation of the photon spectra produced by leptonic radiative processes in jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).

## Description¶

### References¶

Notation and basic formulas are borrowed from [DermerMenon2009] which constitutes the fundamental reference for this code. The implementation of synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton radiative processes relies on [DermerMenon2009] and [Finke2008]; [Dermer2009] and [Finke2016] are instead the main references for the external Compton radiative processes.

### Implementation¶

The numerical operations are delegated to numpy arrays, all the physical quantities computed are casted as astropy Quantities.

## Installation¶

The code is available in the python package index and can be installed via pip

pip install agnpy


The code can also be installed with conda

conda install -c conda-forge agnpy


## Dependencies¶

The only dependencies are:

• numpy managing the numerical computation;
• astropy managing physical units and astronomical distances.
• matplotlib for visualisation and reproduction of the tutorials.
