Abstract
The chemistry and radiative cooling library Grackle provides options for
primordial chemistry and cooling, photo-heating and photo-ionization
from UV backgrounds, and support for user-provided arrays of volumetric
and specific heating rates for astrophysical simulations and models. The
library provides functions to update chemistry species; solve radiative
cooling and update internal energy; and calculate cooling time,
temperature, pressure, and ratio of specific heats (gamma), and has
interfaces for C, C++, Fortran, and Python codes.
