Welcome to dolphin, an AI-powered automated pipeline for strong gravitational lens modeling!
dolphin leverages lenstronomy as its core modeling engine, providing an accessible and scalable framework for studying galaxy-scale lenses.
Strong gravitational lens modeling traditionally requires significant manual effort. dolphin changes this by providing an AI-driven approach to forward modeling, enabling researchers to process large samples of strong lenses with ease. Whether you want a fully hands-off automated pipeline or a semi-automated workflow where you can fine-tune the AI-generated configurations, dolphin gives you the flexibility and power you need.
- 🤖 AI-Automated Modeling: Streamline forward modeling for large datasets of galaxy-scale lenses.
- 🎛️ Flexible Workflows: Choose between fully automated runs or semi-automated modes with manual overrides.
- 🌈 Multi-Band Support: Easily configure and model across multiple observing bands simultaneously.
- 🌌 Versatile Sources: Built-in support for both galaxy–galaxy and galaxy–quasar lens systems.
- 💻 HPC Ready: Seamlessly sync your setup between local machines and High-Performance Computing Clusters (HPCC).
- ✅ Tested & Reliable: Comprehensively tested with
