SunPy: Python for Solar Physics. An implementation for local correlation tracking
Abstract
Python programming language has experienced a great progress and growing use in the scientific community in the last years as well as a direct impact on solar physics. Python is a very mature language and almost any fundamental feature you might want to do is already implemented in a library or module. SunPy is a common effort of, using the advantages of Python, developing tools to be applied for processing and analysis of solar data. In this work we present a particular development, based on Python, for the analysis of proper motions in time series of images through the local correlation tracking algorithm. A graphic user interface allows to select different parameters for the computations, visualization and analysis of flow fields.
