Python package for correlating ZTF data with external multi-messenger triggers, created by @robertdstein. This package enables ZTF follow-up analysis of neutrinos/gravitational waves/gamma-ray bursts, built using the AMPEL platform.

NuZTF can be directly installed with pip, giving the latest stable release:

pip install nuztf

Alternatively, the latest Github version of the code can be installed via pip:

git clone https://github.com/desy-multimessenger/nuztf.git

cd nuztf

poetry install

In case you encounter problems with an ARM-based Mac, use conda and issue: conda install -c conda-forge python-confluent-kafka fiona pyproj lalsuite ligo.skymap -y This should take care of all packages that have not yet been ported.

You will need the IRSA login details with a ZTF-enabled account to fully utilise all features.

Additionally, you need an AMPEL API token. This can be obtained here.
