Users

• Pyxel is primarily for detector scientists, instrument engineers, astronomers working in the fields of (space or ground-based) Astronomy and Earth observation
• Implementation of published models usually are not trivial, therefore… users can directly contribute to and expand the framework by adding their own codes, models
• Quick & easy way to run and to add new models to the framework
• It is very general and flexible, therefore a wide range of applications are possible

Pyxel Collaboration

Pyxel is not just a software, it is a collaboration!

Our collaboration is a worldwide professional network of detector scientists & engineers, astronomers, Pyxel users, Pyxel model developers, software engineers, experts, students and many more…

Our goal is to share models, simulation codes, methods and knowledge with each other worldwide about imaging detectors & technologies using Pyxel. With this, we can help each other to avoid duplication, save resources and better understand detector effects, instrument performance, laboratory or mission data.
