Utilities for astronomical data reduction.

This package is not intended to be a general-purpose image reduction code. It only includes specific operations required in certain steps of the traditional astronomical image reduction process that, at the time of its creation, were not available in more established packages such as ccdproc. In addition, it also offers alternative ways to perform certain tasks that we have found to be more practical for use in Master’s level classes.

The documentation for this package is available at this link. It includes Juypter notebooks that can be easily downloaded and demonstrate the practical use of the defined functionality.

In order to keep your Python installation clean, it is highly recommended to first build a specific Python 3 virtual enviroment

$ python3 -m venv venv_teareduce
$ . venv_teareduce/bin/activate
(venv_teareduce) $ 

The latest stable version is available via de PyPI repository:

(venv_teareduce) $ pip install teareduce

Note: This command can also be employed in a Windows terminal opened through the CMD.exe prompt icon available in Anaconda Navigator.

The latest development version is available through GitHub:

(venv_teareduce) $ pip install git+https://github.com/nicocardiel/teareduce.git@main#egg=teareduce

(venv_teareduce) $ pip show teareduce

(venv_teareduce) $ ipython
