[submitted] Skynet SOAP: A science-ready aperture photometry pipeline for observations made with the Skynet Robotic Telescope Network.
Skynet SOAP is a field-wide aperture photometry pipeline for astronomical observations from the Skynet Robotic Telescope Network. The software performs automated source extraction, background subtraction, aperture photometry, catalog cross-matching, and photometric calibration for all sources in an image. It supports SEP-based source extraction and photometry, forced photometry at user-specified sky positions, limiting-magnitude estimation, configurable aperture selection, calibration against catalogs including SkyMapper, APASS, and Pan-STARRS, and export to multiple tabular formats. Originally designed for follow-up observations of gamma-ray bursts, the pipeline enables science-ready photometric analysis of transient and time-domain observations made with Skynet.
