**PyAutoGalaxy** is software for analysing the morphologies and structures of galaxies:

:target: https://github.com/Jammy2211/PyAutoGalaxy/blob/main/paper/hstcombined.png
**PyAutoGalaxy** also fits interferometer data from observatories such as ALMA:

Getting Started
---------------
The following links are useful for new starters:
- `The PyAutoGalaxy readthedocs <https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest>`_, which includes `an overview of PyAutoGalaxy's core features <https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview/overview_1_start_here.html>`_, `a new user starting guide <https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview/overview_2_new_user_guide.html>`_ and `an installation guide <https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/overview.html>`_.
- `The introduction Jupyter Notebook on Binder <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/Jammy2211/autogalaxy_workspace/release?filepath=start_here.ipynb>`_, where you can try **PyAutoGalaxy** in a web browser (without installation).
- `The autogalaxy_workspace GitHub repository <https://github.com/Jammy2211/autogalaxy_workspace>`_, which includes example scripts and the `HowToGalaxy Jupyter notebook lectures <https://github.com/Jammy2211/autogalaxy_workspace/tree/main/notebooks/howtogalaxy>`_ which give new users a step-by-step introduction to **PyAutoGalaxy**.
Core Aims
---------
**PyAutoGalaxy** has three core aims:
- **Model Complexity**: Fitting complex galaxy morphology models (e.g. Multi Gaussian Expansion, Shapelets, Ellipse Fitting, Irregular Meshes) that go beyond just simple Sersic fitting (which is supported too!).
- **Data Variety**: Support for many data types (e.g. CCD imaging, interferometry, multi-band imaging) which can be fitted independently or simultaneously.
- **Big Data**: Scaling automated analysis to extremely large datasets, using tools like an SQL database to build a scalable scientific workflow.
A complete overview of the software's aims is provided in our `Journal of Open Source Software paper <https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.04475>`_.
API Overview
------------
Galaxy morphology calculations are performed in **PyAutoGalaaxy** by building a ``Plane`` object from ``LightProfile``
and ``Galaxy`` objects. We create a simple galaxy system where a redshift 0.5
``Galaxy`` with an ``Sersic`` ``LightProfile`` representing a bulge and an ``Exponential`` ``LightProfile``
representing a disk.
.. code-block:: python
import autogalaxy as ag
import autogalaxy.plot as aplt
"""
To describe the galaxy emission two-dimensional grids of (y,x) Cartesian
coordinates are used.
"""
grid = ag.Grid2D.uniform(
shape_native=(50, 50),
pixel_scales=0.05, # <- Conversion from pixel units to arc-seconds.
)
"""
The galaxy has an elliptical sersic light profile representing its bulge.
"""
bulge=ag.lp.Sersic(
centre=(0.0, 0.0),
ell_comps=ag.convert.ell_comps_from(axis_ratio=0.9, angle=45.0),
intensity=1.0,
effective_radius=0.6,
sersic_index=3.0,
)
"""
The galaxy also has an elliptical exponential disk
"""
disk = ag.lp.Exponential(
centre=(0.0, 0.0),
ell_comps=ag.convert.ell_comps_from(axis_ratio=0.7, angle=30.0),
intensity=0.5,
effective_radius=1.6,
)
"""
We combine the above light profiles to compose a galaxy at redshift 1.0.
"""
galaxy = ag.Galaxy(redshift=1.0, bulge=bulge, disk=disk)
"""
We create a Plane, which in this example has just one galaxy but can
be extended for datasets with many galaxies.
"""
plane = ag.Plane(
galaxies=[galaxy],
)
"""
We can use the Grid2D and Plane to perform many calculations, for example
plotting the image of the galaxyed source.
"""
plane_plotter = aplt.GalaxiesPlotter(plane=plane, grid=grid)
plane_plotter.figures_2d(image=True)
With **PyAutoGalaxy**, you can begin modeling a galaxy in just a couple of minutes. The example below demonstrates a
simple analysis which fits a galaxy's light.
.. code-block:: python
import autofit as af
import autogalaxy as ag
import os
"""
Load Imaging data of the strong galaxy from the dataset folder of the workspace.
"""
dataset = ag.Imaging.from_fits(
data_path="/path/to/dataset/image.fits",
noise_map_path="/path/to/dataset/noise_map.fits",
psf_path="/path/to/dataset/psf.fits",
pixel_scales=0.1,
)
"""
Create a mask for the data, which we setup as a 3.0" circle.
"""
mask = ag.Mask2D.circular(
shape_native=dataset.shape_native,
pixel_scales=dataset.pixel_scales,
radius=3.0
)
"""
We model the galaxy using an Sersic LightProfile.
"""
light_profile = ag.lp.Sersic
"""
We next setup this profile as model components whose parameters are free & fitted for
by setting up a Galaxy as a Model.
"""
galaxy_model = af.Model(ag.Galaxy, redshift=1.0, light=light_profile)
model = af.Collection(galaxy=galaxy_model)
"""
We define the non-linear search used to fit the model to the data (in this case, Dynesty).
"""
search = af.Nautilus(name="search[example]", n_live=50)
"""
We next set up the `Analysis`, which contains the `log likelihood function` that the
non-linear search calls to fit the galaxy model to the data.
"""
analysis = ag.AnalysisImaging(dataset=masked_dataset)
"""
To perform the model-fit we pass the model and analysis to the search's fit method. This will
output results (e.g., dynesty samples, model parameters, visualization) to hard-disk.
"""
result = search.fit(model=model, analysis=analysis)
"""
The results contain information on the fit, for example the maximum likelihood
model from the Dynesty parameter space search.
"""
print(result.samples.max_log_likelihood())
