Cutouts

Postage stamps along the trajectory of a moving object.

Parameterized cutout querying in various datasets

Various datasets have different ways of querying for cutouts. This library provides a common interface for querying single-epoch cutouts over several surveys.

Designed to work hand-in-hand with precovery, this library provides a way to generate .gifs of cutouts adjacent in time to provide a sanity check for moving object detections.

At this time, we have only a small list of surveys covered:

  • NoirLAB Source Catalog (NSC)
  • Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)
  • SkyMapper Southern Sky Survey
