Pysynphot Documentation Home

NB: Pysynphot is still under development, and so is its documentation. This preliminary documentation corresponds to pysynphot v0.7, released as part of stsci_python 2.9.

 

User documentation

- PysynphotQuickstartTutorial (for those who prefer to jump right in)

- Pysynphot User's Guide (in progress)

- Introduction to Pysynphot for Synphot Users (in progress)

- (Py)Synphot Data User's Guide: contains the supported obsmodes for all instruments and non-HST bands, and descriptions of the available atlases and catalogs. Although this document was written for SYNPHOT, all information about supported obsmodes, atlases, and catalogs applies to pysynphot as well.
