LePHARE PHotometric Analysis for Redshift Estimation

LePHARE is a code for estimating galaxy redshifts and physical parameters using template fitting. It is a complete rewrite in C++ of the Fortran code, with python binding and extension using pybind11.

The code documentation, including how to install it and to get started, can be found here.

IMPORTANT! The current repository is under development. If you wish to use LePHARE for science work, please download it from the currently stable repository.

If you need help with the code, or if you have feature requests, please use the github issue system to let us know.

LePHARE was originally developped in Fortran by Stéphane Arnouts and Olivier Ilbert.

The C++ and python rewriting of the code is the work of Olivier Ilbert, Johann Cohen-Tanugi, and Raphael Shirley.

Other contributors include: Iary Davidzon, Mara Salvato (MPE), Cédric Dubois (LAM), and Maria Petkova.

We acknowledge fruitful discussions with Emeric Le Floc'h (CEA), Léo Michel-Dansac (LAM), Jean-Charles Lambert (LAM).

This project was automatically generated using the LINCC-Frameworks python-project-template. For more information about the project template see the documentation.

The authors gratefully acknowledge the important contribution of LINCC Framework members (notably Olivia Lynn and Drew Oldag) to the construction of the LePHARE github infratructure.
