PyXel: A Python Package for Astronomical X-ray Data Modeling
Abstract
PyXel is a open-source Python package for modeling astronomical X-ray imaging data. It is primarily built on NumPy, SciPy, Astropy, and emcee. The package aims to provide a common set of image analysis tools for astronomers working with extended X-ray sources. I will present an overview of its features, and analysis examples based on public Chandra data.The code is available for download on GitHub (https://github.com/gogrean/PyXel), and contributions to it are welcome.
