pynucastro now has a method to help understand why your reaction network is stiff. By computing the spectral radius of the Jacobian as you disable rates, you can see which rate is most responsible for a network being stiff. pynucastro.github.io/pynucastro/s... #astro #astrocode

new in pynucastro: we can now export to NetworkX and use their functions analyze a reaction network. Here's an example of finding cycles -- NetworkX finds the CNO and hot-CNO cycles in a network: pynucastro.github.io/pynucastro/n... #astro #astrocode
