[submitted] Gradus.jl

Extensible spacetime agnostic general relativistic ray-tracing (GRRT): Gradus.jl is a suite of tools related to tracing geodesics and calculating observational signatures of accreting compact objects. Gradus.jl requires only a specification of the non-zero metric components of a chosen spacetime in order to solve the geodesic equation and compute a wide variety of trajectories and orbits. Various algorithms for calculating physical quantities are implemented generically, so they may be used with different classes of spacetime with minimal effort.
