NICER Data Analysis: Contributed Software


This page contains links to software developed by users not affiliated with the NICER GOF or the HEASARC. They have provided these packages in the hopes that they may be of use to other NICER users. Software hosted on this page is provided as-is with no support from either the NICER GOF or the HEASARC. Questions about these software packages should be directed to the developer, and not to the NICER or HEASARC helpdesks.

Please note that the HEASARC will not support these contributed software packages after mission end.
