[ascl:2510.008] TRIPP: TRansient Image Processing Pipeline
TRIPP (TRansient Image Processing Pipeline) detects transients and variable sources using difference imaging analysis and light-curve analysis techniques. It performs image registration, subtraction, and source extraction, producing photometric measurements and light curves for candidate events. Designed for use with networks of small telescopes and large synoptic surveys, the pipeline enables (near) real-time identification of transient phenomena. Though written specifically with LGTS in mind, the pipeline and its optimizations could be broadly beneficial for time-domain astrophysics; TRIPP could feasibly detect OSETI signals in LGTS data.
[ascl:1209.011] DiskFit: Modeling Asymmetries in Disk Galaxies
DiskFit implements procedures for fitting non-axisymmetries in either kinematic or photometric data. DiskFit can analyze H-alpha and CO velocity field data as well as HI kinematics to search for non-circular motions in the disk galaxies. DiskFit can also be used to constrain photometric models of the disc, bar and bulge. It deprecates an earlier version, by a subset of these authors, called velfit.
