NOTE: THIS IS A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT VERSION, FAR FROM BEING FULLY TESTED AND DOCUMENTED.
astromatch is a Python 3 package for statistical cross-matching of astronomical catalogues. We offer three different methods: 'lr', our own implementation of the likelihood ratio method; 'xmatch', which uses an external server hosted by the CDS; and 'nway', using the NWAY package.
astromatch gives a consistent output for different cross-matching methods, enabling an easier comparison of their results. It also offers a useful framework, well integrated within the Astropy framework, for including new methods.
astromatch depends on:
numpyastropymocpy
Certain functionalities also requiere:
nwaymatplotlibrequest
astromatch can be easily installed using pip:
pip install astromatchAlternatively, clone the repository and use pip to install the downloaded code:
git clone https://github.com/ruizca/astromatch.git
pip install ./astromatchYou can find a Jupyter notebook explaining how to use astromatch in docs/astropy/examples.ipynb.
