class pynucastro.nucdata.spin_table.SpinTable(datafile=None, reliable=False)

Bases: object

This class stores the spins2020.txt table information in a dictionary data structure that maps nuclides to their number of nuclear spin states. Therefore, after setting an SpinTable class in rates.py, we can retrieve the spin states for a designated Nucleus class.

The variable reliable switch between using all the values of the tables, excluding the nuclei where only intervals are given and the values measured by strong experimental arguments.
