The Cosmic Star Formation Rate (CSFR) represents the rate of gas conversion in star into a given comove volume and time. Understanding the CSFR has an important role in the modern astrophysics. A semi-analytical form of the CSFR can be used to test alternative cosmological models and to study process that might have been occurred in the called cosmological dark age. The main objective of this work is to detail the pycosmicstar (PYthon COSMIC STar formationRate), which is a new computational package and a web-based application used for exploring the influences of the cosmological parameters and the Initial Mass Function in the CSFR. The main given contribution of this work is to release this package for the scientific community under the GNU General Public License version 3. Moreover, was developed a web-based application www.cosmicstarformation.com under responsive design principles.
