TRINITY

TRINITY is a feedback-driven HII-region evolution code. For a given giant-molecular-cloud mass, star-formation efficiency, density profile, and ambient medium, it integrates the time evolution of an expanding feedback bubble — shell radius, velocity, thermal state, and force budget — and resolves the phase transitions (energy-driven → transition → momentum-driven) and stopping fate (stall, dissolution, escape) of the shell.

TRINITY is distributed under the GNU GPL v3. If you use it in published work, please see Acknowledging TRINITY for the citation and acknowledgement.

Install

Clone the repository and install the Python dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/JiaWeiTeh/trinity
cd trinity
pip install -r requirements.txt

TRINITY is pure Python (no compilation step) and requires Python 3.9 or newer.

First run

From the repository root:

python run.py param/simple_cluster.param

This integrates a small, pre-shipped example (a 1e5 \(M_\odot\) cloud at 30% star-formation efficiency, with everything else falling back to defaults). Outputs land in the directory specified by path2output; the default sentinel def_dir writes to outputs/<model_name>/ under the current working directory. See Running TRINITY for the parameter-file syntax, sweep modes, CLI flags, and output layout.
