AstroKit Documentation

Welcome to AstroKit documentation!

AstroKit is a Python package for astronomical data analysis (hodgepodge 😁), developed by Rui Zhu. It provides:

1. Photometric data preprocessing — including photometric redshift estimation, extinction correction, and more.

2. Wrappers for classical astronomical software — such as GALFIT(M), STILTS, EAZY, and SExtractor.

3. A collection of useful functions developed for and inspired by my own research.

4. More features and documents are on the way!

🌟 Current Version (BETA): 0.1.0

⚠️ AstroKit is currently under development.
Please use it with caution. Feedback and suggestions are very welcome — feel free to contact me at zhurui675@gmail.com. The first stable release (version 1.0.0) will be available soon (expected in late 2025).
