A code for computing the survival mass fraction of axion minihalos due to stellar interactions.
The Data folder contains data files associated with previous journal articles. The Figure folders contain Python files to generate output quantities. These folders also contain a Python file to generate the corresponding figures. The figure numbers are the same as in the journal article: Disruption of dark matter minihalos by successive stellar encounters.
Each Python or Jupyter Notebook contains a #PARAMETERS section in the code immediately after importing the libraries. You can adjust the parameters of the file by modifying the values of each parameter. The plotting code files have a parameter save_to_disk. Set this parameter to True if you want to save the generated figure.
