Leo is a self-consistent numerical model of hybrid plasma dynamics, implemented on GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). It treats the ions as massive particles using a classical Particle-In-Cell method, whereas the electrons are considered as a massless, charge-neutralising fluid. Leo is designed to be a simplified, light-weighted, and fast self-consistent solver to study the interaction between the solar wind and a cometary atmosphere. The code is named in reference to Leo Haser and its simple model of a cometary atmosphere density used in the solver. Its high performance allows for simplified, lighter usage and handling of simulations, and enables a larger exploration of the parameter space (physical and numerical).
