# PyAstronomy

What is it?

-----------

  PyAstronomy is a collection of astronomy-related

  packages written in Python.

  Currently, the following subpackages are available:

    funcFit:    A convenient fitting package providing support

                for minimization and MCMC sampling.

    modelSuite: A Set of astrophysical models (e.g., transit

                light-curve modeling), which can be used

                stand-alone or with funcFit.

    AstroLib:   A set of useful routines including a number

                of ports from IDL's astrolib.

    Constants:  The package provides a number of often-needed

                constants.

    Timing:     Provides algorithms for timing analysis such as

                the Lomb-Scargle and the Generalized Lomb-Scargle

                periodogram

    pyaGUI:     A collection of GUI tools for interactive work.
