XRTpy: A Hinode X-Ray Telescope Python Package

The XRTpy Python package is a specialized tool developed for the analysis of observations made by the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) aboard the Hinode spacecraft. Hinode is a joint mission involving space agencies from Japan, the United States, and Europe, launched with the primary aim of providing multi-wavelength data from the photosphere to the upper corona, enabling continuous observations of the Sun. XRTpy offers a comprehensive range of functionalities, including object-oriented representation of instrument configuration, effective area calculations, temperature response computation, light leak subtraction, image sharpening, estimation of electron temperature, and emission measure derivation. These capabilities empower researchers to explore and analyze XRT data comprehensively, contributing to a deeper understanding of solar phenomena.
