Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) allowed us to peek into the extremely energetic side of the Universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. The tools available for analyzing Fermi-LAT data are the…
I describe the design, implementation, and usage of galpy, a Python package for galactic-dynamics calculations. At its core, galpy consists of a general framework for representing galactic potentials both in Python and in C (for accelerated…
Fossil record methods based on spectral synthesis techniques have matured over the past decade, and their application to integrated galaxy spectra fostered substantial advances on the understanding of galaxies and their evolution. Yet,…
Establishing accurate morphological measurements of galaxies in a reasonable amount of time for future big-data surveys such as EUCLID, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope or the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope is a challenge. Because…
The S\'ersic law (SL) offers a versatile functional form for the structural characterization of galaxies near and far. Whereas applying it to galaxies with a genuine SL luminosity distribution yields a robust determination of the S\'ersic…
Image-based experiments can yield many thousands of individual measurements describing each object of interest, such as cells in microscopy screens. CellProfiler Analyst is a free, open-source software package designed for the exploration…
The computer programs most users interact with daily are driven by a graphical user interface (GUI). However, many scientific applications are used with a command line interface (CLI) for the ease of development and increased flexibility…
