The 35th annual conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software & Systems 2025 in Görlitz, Germany

PySE (Python Source Extractor) was developed by Spreeuw & Swinbank between 2005 and 2010, as part of the LOFAR Transients Key Project. It has been in continuous use since 2017 within the Amsterdam–ASTRON Radio Transients Facility and Analysis Center (AARTFAAC) pipeline. More recently (2023), major performance enhancements reduced runtime dramatically: offline processing of typical 2300²-pixel...

The Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST) is China's first major space-based optical survey facility, equipped with advanced instruments including the Main Survey Camera (MSC), Multi-Channel Imager (MCI), Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS), Cool Planet Imaging Coronagraph (CPIC), and High Sensitivity Terahertz Detection Module (HSTDM), covering wavelengths from near-ultraviolet (NUV) to...

The first Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1) encompasses approximately 30 million sources across 63.1 square degrees, marking the beginning of a mission providing petabytes of imaging data through Data Release 1 (DR1) and subsequent releases. Systematic scientific exploitation of these datasets frequently requires extraction of source-specific cutouts; however, the scale of modern surveys renders...

ESA's Euclid cosmology mission was launched in 2023 and during its five year life time it will observe one third of the sky with unprecedented resolution with its optical and near infrared instruments.

The Euclid data will be hosted by the Euclid Science Archive, within the ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC) in Madrid. The ESDC is in charge of the development, operations and maintenance of...
