Toolkit to access and manipulate Gaia catalogue tables hosted at ESA's Gaia Archive Core Systems (GACS)

Project description

pygacs
======

**Python toolkit to manipulate Gaia catalogue tables hosted at ESA's Gaia Archive Core Systems (GACS)**

pygacs provides python modules for the access and manipulation (e.g. crossmatch) of
tables in GACS. It employs the TAP command line access tools described
in the 'Help' section of the GACS web pages (`<https://geadev.esac.esa.int/gacs-dev/index.html>`_).

So far, only synchronous and authenticated access has been
implemented. To fully use pygacs, in particular to upload a table for
crossmatch operations, you will need to be a registered user of GACS
and call the example script with your access credentials.
