Description

GaiaHub is a public Python/Fortran tool that computes stellar proper motions combining data from the Gaia mission and the Hubble Space Telescope. The code helps users to discover, download, and analyze HST images in a sky region of interest, combining the results with the Gaia catalog to produce accurate proper motions. If you use GaiaHub for your research, please cite del Pino et al. 2022 (ApJ accepted), where the method is described.

Notes

The code is also available in Github: https://github.com/AndresdPM/GaiaHub
