# Overview

Python scripts to analyze the morphology of isolated and interacting galaxies.

The package is designed to automatically download imaging data from:

- **S-PLUS** (https://splus.cloud/)
- **Legacy Survey** (https://www.legacysurvey.org)
- **SDSS DR17 Imaging** (https://www.sdss4.org/dr17/imaging)

The library also includes functionality to perform photometric modeling using **simulated galaxy images**, allowing controlled experiments and validation of morphological measurements.

There are functions to:

- Calculate a 2D sky background of the images  
- Generate deblended segmentation maps of interacting systems with merger isophotes  
- Perform non-parametric morphological analysis using the [`statmorph`](https://github.com/vrodgom/statmorph) package.  

Users can also study the environment of an object/system by downloading a list of galaxies within the Field-of-View of S-PLUS/Legacy images from the **SIMBAD** server (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/).

In addition, the package includes a function to display **DSS2** images (http://alasky.u-strasbg.fr/hips-image-services/hips2fits) of any size.
