Module for the creation of high-level science products (HLSP) in the HCI-FITS format, a dedicated format for the results of high-contrast imaging (HCI) observations and surveys.
The specification of the HCI-FITS format for high-contrast imaging was proposed by the ALICE project. The goal of this format is to simplify HLSP exchange in the HCI community by adopting a standard output format for all the usual data products. The format is based on a single multi-extension FITS file (Pence et al.2010) that gathers all the high-level information about the datasets, which we call HCI-FITS file for High-Contrast Imaging FITS file.
A full description of the format specifications is available in Hagan et al. (2018).
