RM-lite
A mini fork of RM-Tools - RM-synthesis and RM-clean on polarised radio spectra, for both 1D spectra and 3D cubes (the latter via dask).
This just exposes a Python API. No plotting, I/O utilities, or CLI are provided. See the main fork of RM-Tools for that functionality.
The goal of this project is to provide low code surface area with high reliability, performance, and developer ergonomics.
Warning: This is very much a work-in-progress. Do not expect stability for a while.
Installation
PyPI release:
pip install rm-lite
Current GitHub main commit:
pip install git+https://github.com/AlecThomson/rm-lite.git
Usage
Docs: rm-lite.readthedocs.io
This is a library, by design - no CLI is provided. Import the API and call it from your own Python code; see the docs for usage examples.
Citing
If you use this package in a publication, please cite main fork's ASCL entry for the time being.
