[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/solar-dynamics-observatory.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/solar-dynamics-observatory)

A Python library to download and analyze data from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

This library uses the [Sunpy](https://sunpy.org/) package to download the images

and the [aiapy](https://aiapy.readthedocs.io) package to align and prepare the 

images to be ready for scientific analysis.

While this package uses Sunpy to download the data, it does not represent SDO

images as instances of

[`sunpy.map.Map`](https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/generated/api/sunpy.map.Map.html),

it represents images using [`named_arrays.FunctionArray`](https://named-arrays.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/named_arrays.FunctionArray.html).

## Installation

This package is published on PyPI and can be installed using pip

```bash

pip install solar-dynamics-observatory

```
