$γ$-Cascade: A Simple Program to Compute Cosmological Gamma-Ray Propagation

arXiv:1804.00005 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2019/01/013

Abstract

Modeling electromagnetic cascades during gamma-ray transport is important in many applications within astrophysics. This document introduces $γ$-Cascade, a publicly available Mathematica package which allows users to calculate observed gamma-ray fluxes from point sources as well as from a distribution of sources. $γ$-Cascade semi-analytically computes the effects of electromagnetic interactions during gamma-ray transport.
