DUSTY -- Radiation transfer through dust
- DUSTY calculates the emerging spectrum of radiation from some source viewed after processing by a dusty region. The original radiation is scattered, absorbed and reemitted by the dust, and the emerging processed spectrum often provides the only available

EZ Stellar Evolution
- EZ (Evolve ZAMS) Stellar Evolution tracks the evolution of new (Zero-Age Main Sequence) stars throughout the bulk of their lives (until an event which EZ does not model occurs, such as a Helium Flash or core crystallization). The code is clean and well
