Topic guides#

Use these references when choosing a model or checking a calculation’s conventions and limits. Each guide covers a specific topic:

Guide

What to look up

Model contracts

Units, array shapes, parameter mutation and error behavior across backends

Profile conventions

Tracer scale definitions, Sersic deprojection domains and halo cutoffs

Axisymmetric geometry

Coordinates, flattening, inclination and geometry-specific inference constraints

J and D factors

Aperture definitions, finite-cone integrals and cusp restrictions

Numerical accuracy

Quadrature refinement, gradient checks and specialized kernel limits

API migration

Explicit backend names, density cutoffs, precision and sampled-parameter mappings

For setup and executable workflows, follow the tutorials, including JAX and backends, MCMC and diagnostics, and saving and resuming. Theory collects the Jeans and likelihood equations; the API reference documents individual calls.
