| Abstract: |
Data Analysis tools are essential for transforming data into knowledge. They are distinct from
pipeline tools in that they usually require interaction and tailoring to specific scientific needs,
but parts of the analysis process can often be turned into a pipeline after an initial exploratory
phase. Data analysis tools for JWST are being added to the open-source Python+Astropy ecosystem,
either as complete packages or as contributions to new packages. The tools include libraries to
manipulate and transport complex geometric transformations (gWCS and ASDF), libraries for image
analysis (imexam and photutils) and tools for analyzing spectroscopy (Specviz, MOSviz and Cubeviz).
We provide a brief summary of the tools, highlighting areas that are ripe for collaboration. |
