Gamma-ray Data Tools: Core Components

The Gamma-ray Data Tools (GDT) is centralized toolkit for hard X-ray and gamma-ray astrophysics data analysis, with a focus on providing a uniform interface to the data provided by several different missions and instruments.

The GDT Core Package (astro-gdt) contains the core components of the GDT that can be utilized for various instruments and is a generalized version of the Fermi GBM Data Tools. Individual mission or instrument packages can be developed using astro-gdt and released under the gdt.missions namespace (see astro-gdt-fermi as an example).

Normal Installation

If you don’t plan to contribute code to the project, the recommended install method is installing from PyPI using:

pip install astro-gdt
gdt-data init

The gdt-data init is required to initialize the library after installation.
