Welcome to BBarolo’s and pyBBarolo’s documentation!

3D-Barolo (3D-Based Analysis of Rotating Objects via Line Observations) or BBarolo is a tool for fitting 3D tilted-ring models to emission-line datacubes. The Python wrapper is pyBBarolo.

For a detailed description of the algorithms used in this code, please refer to BBarolo’s main paper. The documentantion is also available in PDF here.
