Celeste.jl

Build Status codecov.io

Celeste.jl finds and characterizes stars and galaxies in astronomical images. It performs approximate Bayesian inference as described in

Jeffrey Regier, Andrew Miller, David Schlegel, Ryan Adams, Jon McAuliffe, and Prabhat. "Approximate inference for constructing astronomical catalogs from images." In: Annals of Applied Statistics, 13 (3), 2019.
