## 📚 Complete Tutorial: DD2 Equation of State

This tutorial shows the **complete workflow** from raw EOS data to publication-quality results using the HS(DD2) equation of state as an example.

### Step 0: Get Example Files

First, download the demo EOS files:

```bash
# Via pip
tovx-demo

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.utils.demo
```

This downloads example files including `hsdd2.csv` to both `inputRaw/` and `inputCode/` directories.

### Step 1: Convert Raw EOS to Code Units

**Input:** `inputRaw/hsdd2.csv` - Raw EOS in CGS units (g/cm³ and dyn/cm²)

**Goal:** Convert to dimensionless TOV code units

```bash
# Via pip
tovx-converter inputRaw/hsdd2.csv -o inputCode/hsdd2.csv

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.converter inputRaw/hsdd2.csv -o inputCode/hsdd2.csv
```

**What happens:**

The converter will analyze your file and ask:
```
Which column is PRESSURE? (1-based index): 2
Which column is ENERGY DENSITY? (1-based index): 1
Which unit system?
  1) MeV^-4
  2) MeV*fm^-3
  3) fm^-4
  4) CGS (g/cm^3, dyn/cm^2)
Select (1-4): 4
```

After confirmation, it converts the file and saves to `inputCode/hsdd2.csv`.

**Features:**
- Automatically preserves ALL additional columns (number density, chemical potential, etc.)
- Adds header comment showing conversion factors
- Reorders columns: pressure and energy first (converted), then rest (preserved)

### Step 2: Compute Mass-Radius Sequence & Tidal Deformability

**Goal:** Solve TOV equations for 200 neutron stars with different central pressures

```bash
# Via pip
tovx inputCode/hsdd2.csv -n 200

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.tov inputCode/hsdd2.csv -n 200
```

**Output:**
- **CSV:** `export/stars/csv/hsdd2.csv` containing:
  - Central pressure `p_c`
  - Radius `R` [km]
  - Mass `M_solar` [M☉]
  - Tidal deformability `Lambda` (dimensionless)
  - Love number `k2`
  - **Automatic:** All EOS columns at central pressure (`central_e`, `central_n`, `central_phase`, etc.)
- **Plots:** `export/stars/plots/hsdd2.pdf`

**Example plot:**

![Mass-Radius Plot](export/stars/plots/hsdd2.png)

The plot shows three panels:
- **Left:** Mass-Radius relationship
- **Middle:** Tidal deformability Λ(M) with GW170817 constraint
- **Right:** Love number k₂(M)

### Step 3: Generate Internal Structure Profiles

**Goal:** Get detailed radial profiles showing the star's interior from center to surface

```bash
# Via pip
tovx-radial inputCode/hsdd2.csv -M 1.4

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.radial inputCode/hsdd2.csv -M 1.4
```

**What happens:**
1. Searches for the star closest to 1.4 M☉
2. Computes full radial profile: M(r), p(r) at each radius point
3. **Automatically interpolates** all EOS columns at each radial point: ε(r), n(r), μ(r), phase(r), etc.
4. Saves all data to HDF5 format (or JSON if h5py not installed)
5. Generates plots with M-R context

**Output:**
- **Data:** `export/radial_profiles/json/hsdd2.h5` (HDF5 format if h5py installed, otherwise JSON)
- **Plots:** Two PDFs with M-R context:

**Mass Profile:**

![Mass Profile](export/radial_profiles/plots/Mass/mass_profile_0.png)

**Pressure Profile:**

![Pressure Profile](export/radial_profiles/plots/Pressure/pressure_profile_0.png)

Each plot:
- **Left Panel:** Radial profile from center to surface
- **Right Panel:** Full M-R curve with ⭐ marking this star's position

## 🚀 Batch Processing Tutorial: Multiple EOS Files

Process **multiple EOS files in parallel** for high-throughput analysis.

### Scenario: Analyze 6 Quark Matter EOS Models

Analyze 6 EOS files with color-superconducting quark matter (CSC and RGNJL series from [arXiv:2411.04064](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.04064)). The RGNJL tables are from the [RG-NJL-EoS-tables](https://github.com/marcohof/RG-NJL-EoS-tables) repository.

### Step 0: Get Batch Example Files

The batch files are **included with `tovx-demo`**:

```bash
tovx-demo
```

This downloads **18 files** total:
- 3 basic examples: `test.csv`, `hsdd2.csv`, `csc.csv`
- 6 batch EOS in `inputCode/Batch/` (ready to use in code units)
- 6 raw batch EOS in `inputRaw/batch/` (for unit conversion tutorials)
- 3 raw versions in `inputRaw/`

### Step 1: Batch Convert to Code Units (Optional)

**Note:** Batch files are already in `inputCode/Batch/`, so you can skip to Step 2. This step is only if you want to practice unit conversion.

Convert all 6 raw batch files simultaneously:

```bash
# Via pip
tovx-converter --batch inputRaw/batch/ --pcol 2 --ecol 1 --system 3 --workers 6

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.converter --batch inputRaw/batch/ --pcol 2 --ecol 1 --system 3 --workers 6
```

**Parameters:**
- `--pcol 2`: Pressure is in column 2
- `--ecol 1`: Energy density is in column 1  
- `--system 3`: Units are fm⁻⁴
- `--workers 6`: Use 6 parallel workers

**Result:** All files converted to `inputCode/Batch/` in ~2-5 seconds

### Step 2: Batch Compute M-R Curves

Compute M-R sequences for all 6 EOS files:

```bash
# Via pip
tovx --batch inputCode/Batch/ -n 1000 -o export/batch_all --workers 6

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.tov --batch inputCode/Batch/ -n 1000 -o export/batch_all --workers 6
```

**What happens:**
- For each star, **automatically interpolates** all EOS columns at the central pressure
- Saves not just M, R, Λ, k₂ but also central energy density, number density, phase labels, etc.
- Lets you track how interior conditions (density, phase transitions) vary with stellar mass

**Output:**
- 6 CSV files with ~250-1000 stars each (R < 99 km filter)
- Each CSV includes: `p_c, R, M_solar, Lambda, k2, central_e, central_n, central_phase, ...`
- 6 sets of M-R, Λ(M), k₂(M) plots
- Completed in ~30-60 seconds (parallel processing!)

**Results Summary:**
```
CSC_v0.70d1.45   => M_max = 1.94 M☉
CSC_v0.80d1.50   => M_max = 2.08 M☉
CSC_v0.85d1.50   => M_max = 2.11 M☉
RGNJL_v0.70d1.45 => M_max = 2.06 M☉
RGNJL_v0.80d1.50 => M_max = 2.09 M☉
RGNJL_v0.85d1.50 => M_max = 2.19 M☉
```

### Step 3: Batch Radial Profiles at Maximum Mass

Generate internal structure profiles at M_max for all 6 EOS:

```bash
# Via pip
tovx-radial --batch inputCode/Batch/ --max-mass -o export/radial_maxmass --workers 6

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.cli.radial --batch inputCode/Batch/ --max-mass -o export/radial_maxmass --workers 6
```

**What happens:**
1. Each EOS: Fast M_max search (50 coarse + 200 fine = 250 TOV solves)
2. Finds M_max with precision < 0.01 M☉
3. Computes full radial profile with **automatic interpolation** of all EOS columns at each radius:
   - Numeric columns → interpolated
   - String columns → nearest value
4. Saves everything to HDF5 (or JSON) - complete radial data for post-processing
5. Generates M(r) and p(r) plots with M-R context

**Output:**
- 6 HDF5 files in `export/radial_maxmass/*/json/*.h5` with complete radial data
- 12 plots (Mass and Pressure profiles for each EOS)
- **Total time: ~30 seconds** for all 6 files in parallel!

**Because all columns are stored**, you can easily create custom plots like phase-color-coded visualizations:

**Example M-R curves for all 6 EOS models (color-coded by central phase):**

![M-R Curves Phase-Coded](export/all_mr_curves_phase_coded.png)

*M-R curves from [arXiv:2411.04064](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.04064) showing how central phase changes with mass. Colors: Blue=Hadronic, Orange=2SC, Red=CFL. Line styles: Solid=CSC series, Dashed=RGNJL series. Maximum mass predictions: 1.94 - 2.19 M☉.*

**Example radial profile at M_max (RGNJL v0.70, M_max = 2.06 M☉, R = 12.44 km):**

![Phase-Coded Radial Profile](export/radial_plots/RGNJL_v0.70d1.45_radial_profiles.png)

*Phase-resolved internal structure at maximum mass showing Hadronic → 2SC → CFL transitions. Phase color-coding: Blue=Hadronic, Orange=2SC, Red=CFL. Units: Pressure & energy in MeV/fm³, number density in fm⁻³.*

### 3. converter.py – EOS Unit Converter

**Sick of unit conversion? I was too.** This tool converts raw EOS data into TOV code units.

#### Interactive Mode

**Via pip:**
```bash
tovx-converter
```

**From source:**
```bash
python -m tovextravaganza.converter
```

The script will guide you through:
1. Selecting input file from `inputRaw/`
2. Specifying if the file has a header
3. Identifying pressure and energy density columns
4. Choosing the unit system (MeV fm⁻³, CGS, etc.)

#### CLI Mode

**Via pip:**
```bash
tovx-converter <input_file> <pcol> <ecol> <system> [output_file]
```

**From source:**
```bash
python -m tovextravaganza.converter <input_file> <pcol> <ecol> <system> [output_file]
```

**Example:**
```bash
# Via pip
tovx-converter hsdd2.csv 2 3 4 inputCode/hsdd2.csv

# From source
python -m tovextravaganza.converter hsdd2.csv 2 3 4 inputCode/hsdd2.csv
```

**Parameters:**
- `<input_file>`: Filename in `inputRaw/` folder
- `<pcol>`: Pressure column (1-based index)
- `<ecol>`: Energy density column (1-based index)
- `<system>`: Unit system choice (0-4, see table below)
- `[output_file]`: Optional output path (default: `inputCode/<input_file>`)

**Output:** Converted file saved to `inputCode/` with columns rearranged as `[p, e, ...]`

## 📊 Understanding the Physics

### TOV Equations

The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations describe hydrostatic equilibrium in general relativity:

```
dM/dr = 4πr²ε(r)
dp/dr = -(ε + p)(M + 4πr³p) / (r(r - 2M))
```

Solved in dimensionless "code units" where G = c = M☉ = 1.

### Tidal Deformability

The dimensionless tidal deformability Λ characterizes how a neutron star deforms under tidal forces:

```
Λ = (2/3) k₂ (c²R/GM)⁵
```

where k₂ is the second Love number, obtained by solving a coupled ODE system with TOV.

#### Love Number k₂ Calculation

We solve a coupled 4-variable ODE system simultaneously with TOV:

```
dM/dr = 4πr²ε
dp/dr = -(ε + p)(M + 4πr³p) / (r(r - 2M))
dH/dr = β
dβ/dr = (2H/F₁)[-2π(5ε + 9p + f(ε+p)) + 3/r² + (2/F₁)(M/r² + 4πrp)²] + (2β/rF₁)[-1 + M/r + 2πr²(ε-p)]
```

where:
- `H(r)` is the metric perturbation function
- `β(r) = dH/dr` is integrated explicitly for numerical stability
- `F₁ = 1 - 2M/r` is the metric factor
- `f = dε/dp` is the EOS stiffness (precomputed using centered differences)

The Love number k₂ is then extracted at the surface (r = R):

```
k₂ = (8/5) C⁵ (1-2C)² [2C(y_R - 1) - y_R + 2] / {2C[4(y_R + 1)C⁴ + (6y_R - 4)C³ + (26 - 22y_R)C² + 3(5y_R - 8)C - 3y_R + 6] - 3(1-2C)²[2C(y_R - 1) - y_R + 2]ln(1-2C)}
```

where `C = GM/(c²R)` is the compactness and `y_R = y(R)`.

## 🎨 Example Showcase

### Mass-Radius Curves

Using HS(DD2) EOS, we compute 200 neutron star configurations:

```bash
python -m tovextravaganza.tov inputCode/hsdd2.csv
```

**Result:** The M-R curve shows:
- Stable branch reaching M_max ≈ 2.42 M☉
- Typical 1.4 M☉ star has R ≈ 13.26 km
- Tidal deformability Λ(1.4 M☉) ≈ 705

### Internal Structure

For a 1.4 M☉ star:

```bash
python -m tovextravaganza.radial inputCode/hsdd2.csv -n 10
```

**Result:** Radial profiles reveal:
- Central pressure: ~10¹⁵ g/cm³
- Pressure drops by ~6 orders of magnitude to surface
- Mass accumulates mostly in inner 10 km

## 🛠️ Technical Details

### Code Units

All calculations use **geometric units** where G = c = 1:

#### Internal (Code) Units:
- **Radius**: km
- **Mass**: km (geometric units, where **1 M☉ = 1.4766 km**)
- **Pressure**: dimensionless code units
- **Energy density**: dimensionless code units

#### Output Units (for display):
- **tov.py**: Converts M to M☉ in output CSV and plots
- **radial.py**: Shows M(r) in M☉, p(r) in MeV/fm³, r in km

#### Conversion Factors:
- **M [M☉] = M [km] / 1.4766**
- **p [MeV/fm³] = p [code] / 1.32379×10⁻⁶**
- **ε [MeV/fm³] = ε [code] / 1.32379×10⁻⁶**

### Numerical Methods

- **ODE Integration:** `scipy.integrate.odeint` with rtol=1e-12, atol=1e-14
- **EOS Interpolation:** Piecewise-linear
- **Boundary conditions:** Start integration at r=1e-5 to avoid r=0 singularity

### Filtering

The code automatically filters out unphysical solutions:
- Stars that hit maximum radius (R = 100 km)
- Low-mass configurations (M < 0.05 M☉)

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Problem:** `ValueError: not enough values to unpack`
- **Solution:** Check that your EOS file has at least 2 columns (p, e)

**Problem:** `ODEintWarning: Excess work done on this call`
- **Solution:** Reduce `--dr` or check for discontinuities in your EOS

**Problem:** All masses are zero
- **Solution:** Your EOS might be too soft or in wrong units. Run `converter.py` first.

**Problem:** UnicodeEncodeError in terminal output
- **Solution:** Set environment variable: `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8`
