SCORPIO, a package for the visualization of galaxy pairs
Published 1 Nov 2021 in astro-ph.IM and astro-ph.GA | (2111.01260v2)
Abstract: We present the description of the project \texttt{SCORPIO}, a Python package for retrieving images and associated data of galaxy pairs based on their position, facilitating visual analysis and data collation of multiple archetypal systems. The code ingests information from SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE surveys based on the available bands and is designed for studies of galaxy pairs as natural laboratories of multiple astrophysical phenomena such as tidal force deformation of galaxies, pressure gradient induced star formation regions, morphological transformation, to name a few.
