Welcome to the pstools documentation
=====================================

`Pointing Scheduler Tools (PSTools) <https://sngyang.com/pstools>`_ is a Python package to help develop observing strategies for astronomical telescopes.

`pstools` provides utilities to:

* generate pointing list for specific telescope, depending on its searching strategy, i.e. tiling or galaxy monitoring search.
* evaluate trigger HEALPix map via `Healpy/HEALPix <https://pstools-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#>`_, i.e. GW, GRB, or AMON.
* optimize observing strategy in order to cover effective the trigger probability, the local luminous mass, visibility, and the detection efficiency.
