source code chandra.cpp, output file chandra.txt, the instructions chanread.txt,
and the executable module chandra.exe, which
may be compiled from the source code using Borland's 3.1 version compiler.
These have all been packed into chandra.zip.
Otherwise, executable code must be purchased with C/C++ source code on CD-rom
from Greenwood Research. It is sold
with Thermonuclear Fusion in Stars,
Supernova Vignettes, and CHANDRA. Free chandra.zip download. 102 Kb

CHANDRA Stellar structure software for Windows, with executable module chandra.exe, source code chandra.cpp in C/C++ (Borland C++ 3.1 format), and chanread.txt readme file. You will require WinZip to unzip chandra.zip. Download WinZip  or search
CNET.
CHANDRA is stellar structure software for collapsed-objects by the method of
Chandrasekhar and Fowler, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and objects
with more exotic equations of state. (See CHANDRA C/C++ source code chandra.cpp
via chandra.zip, together with links to the executable
module chandra.exe, sample output, and instructions.) It includes rotations and chemistry
selection, preparing an overall report file chandra.txt
and a smaller report
presented to the screen of your terminal. If specified, CHANDRA also generates
a detailed center-to-surface structure file stellara.txt
for variables like temperature,
pressure, density, and so forth. This download module includes the source code
file chandra.cpp, which the user may modify and recompile to handle new equations
of state, modified gravitation model, as desired. The complete set includes the book
CHANDRA: Chandrasekhar Sets of White Dwarfs and Supernova Cores
by James A. Green, available for $52.86 from Greenwood Research Books & Software,
or from many other bookstores and dealers.
The book CHANDRA includes the executable and source code software in C/C++ on CD-rom, plus a tutorial
on the theoretical astrophysics treated by the software, letters from Dr. S. Chandrasekhar
himself to the author James A. Green written while the program was being composed, and a free copy
of the old 5th edition of Gravitation and the Electroform Model in an appendix.Dealers & bookstores | Order Direct References || Greenwood Research | Jim Green's Home Page | Free Stellar Structure Downloads 1) Green, James A., Thermonuclear Fusion in Stars, 2nd edition, Greenwood Research, list $50.00. 2) Green, James A., CHANDRA : Chandrasekhar Sets of White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Supernova Cores, Greenwood Research. 3) Green, James A., Astronomical Maps: The Structure of the Celestial Sphere, Greenwood Research. 4) Green, James A., Supernova Vignettes, Greenwood Research. 5) Green, James A., Gravitation & the Electroform Model: From General Relativity to Unified Field Theory, 11th edition, Greenwood Research.
