Spelunker

spelunker is a package that assists and finds technical anomalies on the JWST and stellar properties from guidestars. This pipeline includes tools for conveniently handling guidestar data products and provides methods for investigating its potential in scientific and technical observations.

This documentation showcases all features, tools, and current applications of spelunker. Some applications includes overlaying JWST engineering telemetry with fitted spatial Gaussian parameters like full width half maximum (FWHM), spatial animations of guidestar frames, and optimizing photometry with pixel-level decorrelation (PLD).

The pipline is currently under development on GitHub. For any bugs or requests, send us an email or open an issue on GitHub.
