        A python package that analyze and model the imaging data of galaxies, QSOs and duals.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install galight --user
        
        Alternatively, the package can be installed through github channel:
        https://github.com/dartoon/galight
        
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        Running ``galight`` requires the following packages to be installed.
        
         * ``lenstronomy`` `https://github.com/sibirrer/lenstronomy <https://github.com/sibirrer/lenstronomy>`_
         * ``astropy``  `https://github.com/astropy/astropy <https://github.com/astropy/astropy>`_
         * ``photutils`` `https://github.com/astropy/photutils <https://github.com/astropy/photutils>`_
         * ``regions`` `https://github.com/astropy/regions <https://github.com/astropy/regions>`_
        and related ones to be installed... 
        
        Example notebooks
        -----------------
        We have created `notebooks <https://github.com/dartoon/galight_notebooks>`_ to demonstrate how to use ``galight``. These notebooks demonstrate how to model QSOs and galaxies using 2D Sersic profile and scaled point source, based on ``lenstronomy`` `lenstronomy <https://github.com/sibirrer/lenstronomy>`_.
        
        Examples including:
        
        * `Modeling a HSC imaged QSO <https://github.com/dartoon/galight_notebooks/blob/master/galight_HSC_QSO.ipynb>`_
        * `Modeling a HSC imaged dual QSO <https://github.com/dartoon/galight_notebooks/blob/master/galight_HSC_dualAGN.ipynb>`_
        * `Modeling a HST imaged QSO <https://github.com/dartoon/galight_notebooks/blob/master/galight_HST_QSO.ipynb>`_
        
        Features
        --------
        The notebook demonstrates the follwing feature/functions:
        
        * Search PSF stars through entire field of view, automatically.
        * Cutout the target object and prepare the materials for the modelling.
        * Estimate the background noise level from empty regions.
        * Estimate the global background light and remove.
        * Detecting objects in the cutout stamp and quickly create Sersic keywords (in ``lenstronomy`` type) to model them.
