Description
Spectral-timing analyses are a key tool to investigate the innermost region in accreting X-ray sources.
However, when encounter them, such techniques can appear strenuous to implement and use in an easy way. An advantageous way is to rely on well-maintained and reliable software such as Stingray.
Stingray is an open-source Python library that is able to compute the main Fourier analyses techniques, comprising not only power and cross-spectral analyses, but also supporting data handling of the main X-ray missions.
In this brief talk, I will illustrate how Stingray is able to perform advanced techniques just with a few lines of code, effectively easing the learning curve for young researchers and accelerating the analysis process for experienced astronomers.
