Analysis Tools and Software

The Fermi mission provides a suite of tools called the Fermitools (formerly ScienceTools) for the analysis of both LAT and GBM data. This suite was developed by the FSSC and the instrument teams. The Fermitools suite is now hosted on Github and installed using Conda. In addition, the GBM team has developed specialized tools for analyzing GBM data, and the FSSC maintains a library of contributed software developed by the Fermi user community, such as Fermipy, that may be useful to your analysis.
