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).
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.
If you plan to help with the development or documentation of astro-gdt, then please visit our github site at https://github.com/USRA-STI/gdt-core.
