Stingray is a community-developed suite of astrophysical spectral timing softwaware, written in Python.
The Stingray ecosystem consists of three packages:
- The core Stingray package provides a powerful Python API for spectral timing. Stingray is an Astropy Affiliated Package.
- HENDRICS provides a set of command-line scripts which use the Stingray core to perform quick-look spectral timing analysis of X-ray data.
- DAVE is a graphical user interface built on top of the Stingray core.
