(2020) `_ and the `ASCL entry `_. | Download the model grids from `Zenodo `_. | Kīauhōkū | From Hawaiian: 1. vt. To sense the span of a star's existence (i.e., its age). 2. n. The speed of a star (in this case, its rotational speed). This name was created in partnership with Dr. Larry Kimura and Bruce Torres Fischer, a student participant in `A Hua He Inoa `_, a program to bring Hawaiian naming practices to new astronomical discoveries. We are grateful for their collaboration. Kīauhōkū is a suite of Python tools to interact with, manipulate, and interpolate between stellar evolutionary tracks in a model grid. It was designed to work with the model grid used in `Claytor et al. (2020) `_, which was generated using YREC with the magnetic braking law of `van Saders et al. (2013) `_, but other stellar evolution model grids are available. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Contents: about Quickstart installed_grids/index custom_grids eep extensions/index tutorials/index reference/index papers contribute
