Welcome to MNn’s documentation!

Miyamoto-Nagai negative model :

MNn is a MIT-licensed Python package. Its main purpose is to model galaxies by providing a positive-definite potential-density pair expansion based on the Miyamoto-Nagai disc. This package functionality is two-fold :

1. To provide analytical models to represent galaxy potentials and densities …
2. and to provide simple fitting interfaces to build the models from the data.

This documentation serves as a guide and a reference. Feel free to send comments and remarks to the authors to help us improve the documentation and the package. The code is hosted on github.
