naima is a Python package for computation of non-thermal radiation from
relativistic particle populations. It includes tools to perform MCMC fitting of
radiative models to X-ray, GeV, and TeV spectra using emcee, an affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov
Chain Monte Carlo.
naima is named after a ballad composed by John Coltrane in 1959 which appeared in the albums
Giant Steps (1959) and
Live at the Village Vanguard (1961).
