Astrocut

Tools for making image cutouts from sets of images with shared footprints.

This package is under active development, and will ultimately grow to encompass a range of cutout activities relevant to images from many missions. Currently there are two modes of interaction:

  • Solving the specific problem of creating image cutouts from sectors of TESS full frame images (FFIs) ( CubeFactory and CutoutFactory)

  • More generalized cutouts from sets of images with the same WCS/pixel scale (fits_cut)
