Compute credible regions on the sky from RA-DEC MCMC samples
The sky_area package provides utilities to turn samples from probability distributions on the sky (i.e. samples of RA and DEC) into sky maps, computing credible areas of the distribution, calculating the minimum searched area following a greedy algorithm to find an object, and producing Healpix-pixellated maps that can be used to optimise a search with a known telescope beam.
