The kernel functions for gravity fields of point sources were just one line functions with a lot of docstrings and their own tests. We are not using them outsides the actual gravity forward modelling functions for point masses, so it might be better to remove them. We can always restore them if we find a use case for them. **Relevant issues/PRs:** Fixes #38

The forward modelling functions for point masses make use of kernel functions for each field. These functions executes just a single line and they are mostly repeated documentation. Besides, we don't expect using those functions outside the forward modelling of point sources in cartesian coordinates, so we could simplify the API by removing those and include their code in the forward modelling functions.
Worth noting that for the spherical coordinates forward modelling functions we want those kernels so they can be used for forward modelling tesseroids (check
harmonica.tesseroid_gravity).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
