Description

We enlarged the capabilities of the publicly available Mathematica-based tool $\tt GrayHawk$. This second version enlarges the spectrum of metrics that can be considered in two distinct and disjoined directions. First, it allows a fully numeric computation of tortoise coordinates integral, allowing the user to take into account many metrics for which the analytic computation was impractical. Second, it extends the scattering problem to wormhole solutions.

\noindent The pool of pre-loaded metrics is enriched, offering the immediate possibility of testing the new features, and the code modular structure is maintained to facilitate users in easily modifying the code. This implementation proves $\tt GrayHawk$ adaptability and makes it an even more powerful tool for studying black holes, wormholes, Hawking radiation, and other features involving field propagation on curved manifolds.

\noindent The codes described will soon be made publicly available at \href{https://github.com/marcocalza89/GrayHawk}{\faGithub}.
