Abstract

DYNAMITE (DYnamics, Age and Metallicity Indicators Tracing Evolution) is

a triaxial dynamical modeling code for stellar systems and is based on

existing codes for Schwarzschild modeling in triaxial systems. DYNAMITE

provides an easy-to-use object oriented Python wrapper that extends the

scope of pre-existing triaxial Schwarzschild codes with a number of new

features, including discrete kinematics, more flexible descriptions of

line-of-sight velocity distributions, and modeling of stellar population

information. It also offers more efficient steps through parameter

space, and can use GPU acceleration.
