LEPHARE photometric redshift estimator

	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.
