Tools for reading, writing, manipulating, and making LIGO and Virgo sky maps
Maintainers
Project description
LIGO’s stellar cartography department.
The ligo.skymap package provides tools for reading, writing, generating, and visualizing gravitational-wave probability maps from LIGO and Virgo. It provides several tools that used to live in LALSuite and elsewhere, but in the form of a tiny Python package that is easier to install. Some of the key features of this package are:
- Script bayestar-localize-coincs: BAYESTAR, providing rapid, coherent, Bayesian, 3D position reconstruction for compact binary coalescence events
- Script ligo-skymap-from-samples: Create 3D sky maps from posterior sample chains using kernel density estimation
- Script ligo-skymap-plot: An everyday tool for plotting HEALPix maps
- Module ligo.skymap.plot: Astronomical mapmaking tools for perfectionists and figure connoisseurs
See the installation instructions or the full documentation.
