Fit acoustic glitches present in the radial mode frequencies of solar-like oscillators.

Do you have some asteroseismic mode frequencies for a particular star? Do you want to fit a model to those modes? You need not look any further because this is the Python package for you. With this package you can fit a model of the glitch in mode frequencies caused by the helium-II ionisation zone and base of the convective zone in the stellar envelope. This model yields posterior estimates for the amplitudes of these glitches, which you can use to study surface helium content [references].

Warning

This package is in early development, expect frequent changes to functionality!
