A fast, flexible, differentiable, and automated astronomical image modelling tool for precise parallel multi-wavelength photometry
Project description
AstroPhot is a fast, flexible, and automated astronomical image modelling tool for precise parallel multi-wavelength photometry. It is a python based package that uses PyTorch to quickly and efficiently perform analysis tasks. Written by Connor Stone for tasks such as LSB imaging, handling crowded fields, multi-band photometry, and analyzing massive data from future telescopes. AstroPhot is flexible and fast for any astronomical image modelling task. While it uses PyTorch (originally developed for Machine Learning) it is NOT a machine learning based tool.
Installation
AstroPhot can be installed with pip:
pip install astrophot
If PyTorch gives you any trouble on your system, just follow the instructions on the pytorch website to install a version for your system.
Also note that AstroPhot is only available for python3.
See the documentation for more details.
Documentation
You can find the documentation at the GitHub Pages site connected with the AstroPhot project which covers many of the main use cases for AstroPhot. It is still in development, but lots of useful information is there. Feel free to contact the author, Connor Stone, for any questions not answered by the documentation or tutorials.
