Interpreting the large number of available observations requires accurate modelling using ground-breaking computational simulations coupled with advanced numerical techniques and detailed chemistry and microphysics.
To this aim I have recently developed an open-source code called KROME (http://kromepackage.org), which embeds most of the relevant physics for a large set of astrophysical environments (see Grassi et al. 2014). KROME is a state-of-the-art code to treat
microphysics, and is uniquely flexible in the way it interfaces to other computational codes.
In this talk I'll give an overview of the code and of its main features.
