"At the last dim horizon, we search among ghostly errors of observations for
landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. The
urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be oppressed."
--Edwin Hubble

Welcome to GHOST, the database for supernovae and their host galaxies. This
database contains ~16k sources in PS1, which were used to predict supernova
classes in Gagliano et al. (2020). Installation instructions for the analysis
tools are below.

Installation
------------

For details on installing and using GHOST, see the
`Jdaviz documentation <https://astro-ghost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

Contributing
------------

We love contributions! astro_ghost is open source,
built on open source, and we'd love to have you hang out in our community.

**Imposter syndrome disclaimer**: We want your help. No, really.

There may be a little voice inside your head that is telling you that you're not
ready to be an open source contributor; that your skills aren't nearly good
enough to contribute. What could you possibly offer a project like this one?

We assure you - the little voice in your head is wrong. If you can write code at
all, you can contribute code to open source. Contributing to open source
projects is a fantastic way to advance one's coding skills. Writing perfect code
isn't the measure of a good developer (that would disqualify all of us!); it's
trying to create something, making mistakes, and learning from those
mistakes. That's how we all improve, and we are happy to help others learn.

Being an open source contributor doesn't just mean writing code, either. You can
help out by writing documentation, tests, or even giving feedback about the
project (and yes - that includes giving feedback about the contribution
process). Some of these contributions may be the most valuable to the project as
a whole, because you're coming to the project with fresh eyes, so you can see
the errors and assumptions that seasoned contributors have glossed over.

Note: This disclaimer was originally written by
`Adrienne Lowe <https://github.com/adriennefriend>`_ for a
`PyCon talk <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uj746j9Heo>`_, and was adapted by
astro_ghost based on its use in the README file for the
`MetPy project <https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy>`_.
