| Abstract: |
With the advent of a new generation of telescopes (INTEGRAL, Fermi, H.E.S.S., MAGIC,
VERITAS, MILAGRO) and the prospects of planned observatories such as CTA or HAWC,
gamma-ray astronomy is becoming an integral part of modern astrophysical research.
Analysing gamma-ray data is still a major challenge, and today relies on a large diversity
of tools and software frameworks that were specifically developed for each instrument.
With the goal of facilitating and unifying the analysis of gamma-ray data, we are currently
developing an innovative data analysis toolbox, called the GammaLib, that enables
gamma-ray data analysis in an instrument independent way.
We will present the basic ideas that are behind the GammaLib, and describe its
architecture and usage. |
